This is the story of how the older sister, lui, explains to her younger sister, lua, how she interpreted the famous painting "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci .

"Well, don't be so hasty, lua, I have to warn you that I'm not talking about the initials Jesus Christ."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Jesus Christ is also known as the Messiah. The initials on this painting are the initials of the Messiah".
"Messiah?"
"Yes, Salvator Mundi, [Note 20] meaning Messiah".
I again took control of my laptop and displayed the Salvator Mundi painting on the screen.
"This painting was painted by Leonardo for Louis XII of France around 1500 [Note 20]."

"Salvator Mundi ?...... I've never seen this picture before, but doesn't this guy look somewhat like Sarai from earlier? ＜pic11＞ I mean, the curly hair and all..."
"There is a theory that, like St. John the Baptist and Bacchus, this Salvator Mundi may have been modeled after Sarai [Note 21]."
"I see. So you think that the initials related to Salvator Mundi are depicted in the Mona Lisa ? Which part?"
"Here."
I pointed to the winding road on the right side of the Mona Lisa.
"What? here ?"
"Yes, this winding road is the S for Salvator Mundi."
"S ? No, sis, wait a minute, this road is not shaped like anS, is it ? It doesn't look right." ＜pic28＞

"That's because it's a mirror image. The left and right sides are reversed. Leonardo used mirror letters a lot, probably because he was left-handed [Note3][Note4]."
"Is that so ? Does that mean that Leonardo used mirror letters to indicate the initial S of Salvator Mundi ?"
"But that's not all. This mirror letters is also a message. In other words, this part of the message is telling us to use a mirror to see."
