Thank you for viewing. This item is being offered for sale to clear out inventory of my creations.

Please carefully review the photos and description to assess the condition of the item (including any age-related changes) before considering a purchase. "Heijoshin ze do" (平 常に心是道 / びょうじょうしん ぜどう) 【Meaning of the words】 This is a Zen phrase that means, "The ordinary mind, the natural movements of the mind in everyday life, are the path to enlightenment." It teaches that the truth is found not in special training or knowledge, but in ordinary actions of daily life, such as eating meals and drinking tea. In the tea ceremony, it is a very important word that represents the core of the spirit, that the series of actions "boiling water, preparing tea, and drinking" performed without distraction and with a clear mind, directly leads to the path. 【Features of the work】 With brushstrokes that emphasize "flow" and "blank space," I have expressed the ever-changing state of the mind and the unchanging truth that resides within it. I have focused on the flow of the brush, creating a work that is both flowing and powerful, with a strong presence. As it is a handwritten piece, there is only one of its kind. 【Recommended scenes】 〇 Throughout the seasons (year-round), as a decoration for the alcove in a tea room or at home. 〇 When you want to calm your mind in daily life or at work, as a setting to remember the importance of "**mushin**" (no-mind). 〇 It is also ideal as a gift for those who practice the tea ceremony, or for those who are exploring "the Way" such as martial arts and performing arts. 【Product Details】 Calligraphy: Handwritten by the seller (original) Calligraphy: One-of-a-kind Size: Shikishi board (approx. 27cm x 24cm) Condition: New, unused I will carefully pack it with care and deliver it to you. ※※ There is a slight scratch on the lower left corner of the shikishi board (see photo 6).
