This hanging scroll features a bold Zen ensō (円相), the iconic circular brushstroke symbolizing enlightenment, emptiness, and the unity of mind and body. Executed in a single, decisive motion, the brushwork conveys both meditative control and expressive spontaneity—core principles of Zen calligraphy. The ensō is placed with ample surrounding space, allowing the form to resonate quietly within the composition. Subtle variations in ink density and stroke texture reveal the rhythm of the artist’s movement, while the accompanying inscription and red seals provide balance and spiritual context. Created during the Shōwa–Heisei period, this work reflects the continuity of classical Zen aesthetics into modern Japanese calligraphy. Well suited for a tokonoma, meditation space, or minimalist interior, the scroll offers a calm yet powerful visual presence.
