This is a hanging scroll by Genjo Miyanishi, who served as the chief priest of Otokuji Obaiin Temple. The words "Kokon Muniro" are carefully written in bold, black ink, character by character. This phrase is a Zen term, read as "kokon ni, niro nashi." It is said to mean, "From ancient times to the present, there are not two paths. Those who have mastered the truth walk a single path," following the words "Tassha Kyodo To." When walking the path alone, one may lose confidence, wondering if what they are doing is right or wrong, or if their direction and methods are correct. However, I believe that those who can continue to walk, believing in the path they have taken, can master the truth. It is similar to "perseverance is power," and I think it is a word that encourages earnest effort. This hanging scroll is recommended for those who like the works of Genjo Miyanishi, as well as those looking for words that will encourage them. There are no noticeable stains or tears, but it is generally sun-faded. As it is an antique, please check the photos carefully and refrain from purchasing if you have any concerns. It will also be sold with a matching box. Genjo Miyanishi [1904-1982] Born in Ishikawa Prefecture. Ordained at Hachiman Enpukuji Temple in Kyoto in 1928.
