円相 Enso In Zen, it expresses 和 wa (harmony or peace). It has no beginning and end, you may judge as you like, it can be sometimes seen as moon. Enso is a circle that is hand drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. 平田精耕 Hirata Seikō (1924–2008) He was a prominent Zen master of the Rinzai school and one of the leading figures of the Tenryū-ji lineage in the modern era. After studying philosophy at Kyoto University, he trained under Kanzan Sōsen and later under the renowned master Seki Mokuan, eventually becoming the teacher of the Tenryū-ji training hall. He served as professor and later honorary professor at Hanazono University, contributing significantly to the study and transmission of Zen thought. In 1991 he was appointed the ninth Chief Abbot of the Tenryū-ji branch and the head priest of Tenryū-ji, guiding the sect’s religious and educational activities. Alongside his monastic leadership, he produced a large body of calligraphy and ink paintings, known for their vigorous brushwork and direct expression of Zen spirit. He often signed his works with the names “Seikō,” “So’ō,” or other names, and his pieces—ranging from Zen phrases and ensō to simple ink figures—remain widely appreciated for their clarity, strength, and spiritual presence. with signature 'Soo' 祖翁 and seal 'Ungoshamon' 雲居沙門 'Soo' 祖翁 平田精耕 Hirata Seikō (1924–2008) Japanese Zen kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Enso 円相 Whole dimensions: 20" W x 45" H / 50.9cm x 114.3cm Inside dimensions: 16.5" W x 12.8" H / 42.1cm x 32.6cm Material: Paper Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Wood Weight: 210g Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
