- Description
The Zen phrase saying, “Ichizitsu no seikan ichizitsu no fuku” means, “Free from worldly affairs, put yourself in a quiet place and spend a day in peace. What can this happiness and peace be compared to?” Zen considers mind tranquility as important to achieve enlightenment. This is a phrase that explains the importance of this mind tranquility, that being able to live in such an environment is in itself a blessing.
In this work, a Japanese-style painter Ibaraki Shunzan wrote the Zen words in the margins above the bush clovers and the Chinese bellflowers, painted using the *mokkotsu technique. Has Ibaraki Shunzan created this work in gratitude for the silence of a long autumn night? Through it, the audience is possibly reminded of the importance of calming the mind and looking at oneself.
*Mokkotsu: A technique where the object is expressed by the shading of sumi ink or color rather than by using outlines (koppō.) It is widely known as a technique for kachō-ga (paintings of flowers and birds).
