[ Short Description ] A set of two traditional Japanese hanging scrolls featuring Zen calligraphy by Taigen Kobayashi and Ippo Yano, both priests associated with the Daitoku-ji school of Rinzai Zen Buddhism. The first scroll features the Zen phrase “行雲流水” (Koun Ryusui), written by Taigen Kobayashi, head priest of Obai-in Temple, a sub-temple of Daitoku-ji. The phrase means “Drifting clouds and flowing water.” It describes clouds moving freely across the sky and water flowing naturally along its course. In Zen, this imagery represents a mind free from attachment, adapting naturally to changing circumstances without resistance. The second scroll features the Zen phrase “春山緑水” (Shunzan Ryokusui), written by Ippo Yano of Zoun-ji Temple, Daitoku-ji school. The phrase means “Spring mountains and green waters.” It evokes the beautiful scenery of mountains covered in fresh spring greenery and clear waters flowing through the landscape. The phrase expresses the renewal of nature, harmony, and the peaceful beauty of the spring season. Both works display expressive brushwork and reflect the teachings and aesthetics of Zen Buddhism. They are suitable for display in a tea room, meditation space, or traditional Japanese interior. [ Condition ] There are some signs of age and use.
