Thank you for viewing. This is a calligraphy piece of the Zen phrase "Nōge Kōman-i," which depicts a refreshing scene, written with heartfelt care. ■ Meaning of the phrase "Nōge Kōman-i (hana o rō sureba kaori koromo ni mitsu)" means "If you hold a flower and admire it, its noble fragrance will eventually permeate your clothes." This is also a saying that explains the state of training and human development, meaning "While interacting with someone who has excellent teachings and virtues, you will naturally be influenced by their good influence and come to possess a pure fragrance." ■ Recommended uses For tea ceremony practice: In spring (March to May) or at tea gatherings during seasons when beautiful flowers bloom. Place it in a shikishi hanging scroll or shikishi frame as a decoration for the tokonoma (alcove) or standing tea ceremony. For home interior: In the entrance or Japanese-style room. Add color to your daily life with the positive meaning of "being blessed with good relationships and environment." As a gift: It is a welcome gift for those who are working hard on their practice, or as a word that conveys the image of accumulating virtue, such as for celebrations of new life or promotions. ■ Product details Size: Standard shikishi size (approx. 27cm x 24cm) Condition: New and unused (one-of-a-kind handwritten piece).
