Headword 1人は去り影を留める

English 1man leaving fastens a shadow

CommentWith further looking, I think that the above may be the Japanese equivalent of 人去影留; assuming that the previous submission was Chinese. [Although '人去影留' did not get many hits on Google, it picked up quite a lot on Yahoo]. However, I accept that it may just be a description of 人去影留 .
