Thank you for viewing. "Heijoshin Zedo" (平常心是道) [Meaning of the words] This is a Zen phrase that means, "The ordinary mind, the natural movements of the mind in everyday life, are themselves the path to enlightenment." It teaches that truth is found not in special training or knowledge, but in the ordinary, everyday actions such as eating a meal or drinking tea. In the tea ceremony, it is considered extremely important as a word that expresses the core of spirituality, meaning that performing the series of actions such as "boiling water, whisking tea, and drinking" without distracting thoughts and with a clear mind leads directly to the Way. [Characteristics of the work] With brushstrokes that emphasize "flow" and "strength," I have expressed the ever-changing state of the mind from day to day and the unwavering truth that resides within it. I focused on the flow of the brush to create a piece that is both elegant and powerful, with a strong presence. As it is a handwritten piece, no two are exactly alike. Please check the vigor of the brushstrokes and the ink's density and lightness from the photos. [Recommended scenes] 〇 As a decoration for the alcove of your tea room at home or at your practice space, suitable for any season. 〇 As a setting to remind yourself of the importance of **"mushin" (no-mind)** when you want to calm your mind in daily life or work. 〇 Also makes an excellent gift for those who enjoy the tea ceremony, or for those who seek the "Way" through martial arts, arts, or other disciplines.
