Nichinichi Kore Kōjitsu 日々是好日（にちにちこれこうじつ） — Tachibana Daiki 立花大亀（たちばな だいき） A single brushstroke left by a Japanese legend: the fusion of Zen and art. Zen teaching Ever heard the phrase “Every day is a good day”? It embodies the profound Zen teaching of embracing both joy and hardship, seeing every day as the very best day. This scroll was brushed by Tachibana Daiki, a legendary Zen master who served as senior advisor at Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto, the home of great tea masters including Sen no Rikyu. Deeply respected by figures such as former prime ministers and Panasonic founder Konosuke Matsushita, his wisdom is imbued in this single stroke. Cultural significance This is more than art. Made famous by the award-winning film of the same title, the phrase brings serenity and inspiration to a study or living space. It invites the spirit of wabi-sabi into your room, releasing the heart from the pressures of daily life. Rarity and lasting value Works by Tachibana Daiki are now exceedingly difficult to obtain. This scroll bears the inscription “Murasakino,” the area of Kyoto where Daitokuji stands, along with the artist’s signature and seal. This brushstroke, which condenses his life’s journey, holds irreplaceable value not only for art collectors but also for those seeking a truly enriched way of life. May this piece become the spark that colors your life with greater depth and tranquility. --- Artist Profile Tachibana Daiki (1899–2005) - 1899: Born in Osaka - 1921: Ordained as a Zen monk - 1953: Appointed General Administrator of Daitokuji - 1968: Became the 511th Head Priest of Daitokuji - 1982–86: President of Hanazono University - 2005: Passed away --- Accessories - Original *tomobako* with signature and seal - Paper storage box --- Dimensions & Weight - Artwork: 41 × 54.4 cm - Overall: 130 × 57.5 cm - Depth: 3 cm - Weight: approx. 1,000 g (before packing) --- Technique & Condition - Ink on paper, mounted as a hanging scroll (*kakejiku*). - Signature and seals of Tachibana Daiki on both scroll and tomobako. - Overall very good condition, with only a small spot stain visible on the central left part of the paper. --- Shipping - Japan Post EMS, carefully packed and insured. - Import duties, VAT, and customs handling fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. - For Italian buyers: Please provide your Codice Fiscale (tax code) at the time of purchase, as it is required for customs clearance in Italy.
