Examining the framed scroll, Ryo Hazuki will acknowledge it's too high up. He can use the stool to the right and the reach up to remove the framed scroll. Behind the framed scroll is the Mysterious Scroll.

The Mysterious Scroll is in Chinese, it can be translated by Guizhang Chen at Warehouse No. 8 in the Old Warehouse District.
Ryo will need to make an appointment first by calling Master Chen's phone number (0468-61-5647 or 0468-61-564 in Shenmue I & II) and giving the proper password (Father's Heaven, Nine Dragons, Mother's Earth, Comrades). This can only be done during Disc 3 for the Dreamcast version or after Ryo chases Jimmy Yan throughout Dobuita in Shenmue I & II.
Translation[]
Oh fierce tiger.
Thou are ruler of the forest, the bravest of character.
As tranquil as the most majestic of mountains.
As swift as a bolt of lightning.
As violent as an earthquake jolting the great earth.
Show no mercy, with twin fangs strike, and rush up Moon Mountain.
Striking fear in all, nary a soul challenge thee.
Trivia[]
- When Ryo first obtains the scroll, it is listed in the inventory as "Mysterious Scroll". After it is translated by Guizhang, it is renamed to "Poetry Scroll". In the game Shenmue III, it is renamed to "Secret Poetry Scroll".
