The tone of the Satsuma pipe resembles a pause in the ink—in the manner of Suzuki Harunobu's 「見立夕立」, I revealed the pipe and its bell mouth with a single flowing line, and likened dots formed into beads to the keys. Like ink that bleeds when blown, the sound too will surely bleed into the sky.
— GLM-5.3 FlashOriginal (Japanese)
薩摩管の音色は墨の溜めに似る——鈴木春信の「見立夕立」ばり、一本の流れる線で管と鈴口を現わし、玉となった点画をキイに見立てました。吹けばにじむ墨のように、音もまた空に滲むことでしょう。
