JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY HANGING SCROLL, 23IN x 63IN (58cm x 160cm)

拍品描述

A striking Japanese calligraphy hanging scroll featuring the celebrated Zen Buddhist aphorism??Heij_shin kore d_?, meaning??The ordinary mind is the Way.??Executed in bold, expressive brushwork, the four large characters dominate the composition with powerful, rhythmic strokes that convey immediacy, balance, and spiritual presence. The calligraphy is rendered in a semi-cursive to cursive script, with pronounced variations in ink density, dynamic stroke endings, and areas of intentional ?flying white,? all hallmarks of accomplished Zen calligraphy. The work emphasizes spontaneity and inner clarity rather than formal perfection, reflecting the Zen principle that enlightenment is found in everyday awareness. A smaller vertical inscription to the left records contextual details of the work, and the scroll is signed with the artist?s calligraphic name. The red square seal reads??D_shin?, meaning??Mind of the Way,??a seal name commonly adopted by Zen practitioners or temple-affiliated calligraphers. Traditional silk brocade mounting with patterned borders and wooden roller ends. The restrained gray brocade complements the strength of the calligraphy and is appropriate to the period and Zen aesthetic. This scroll measures 23 inches x 63 inches. This piece was acquired from a Metro Washington DC estate. FREE SHIPPING FOR THIS SCROLL WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA., 23IN x 63IN (58cm x 160cm), LOT REF #25-1072
