Thank you for viewing. This is a one-of-a-kind, handwritten shikishi (poem card) that I have written with all my heart. "Meireki Rekki Rododo" (明歴々露堂々) 【Meaning of the words】 This is a Zen phrase that means "clearly and distinctly revealed, openly and boldly displayed." It teaches that the truth and the teachings of the Buddha are not hidden in some special, profound place, but are already clearly and boldly revealed in all things before our eyes, such as mountains, rivers, trees, and every blade of grass. This is a very high-class expression of the universal worldview of Mahayana Buddhism, which states that **"all things in their natural state are precious."** 【Features of the work】 The brushwork, which emphasizes strength, expresses the bold presence of truth. Because it is handwritten, there is only one of its kind. Please check the force of the brush and the shades of ink from the photos. 【Recommended scenes】 〇 Regardless of the season (year-round), as a decoration for the tokonoma (alcove) in a tea room or at home. 〇 As a display in a Japanese-style room or living room to cultivate the ability to see the essence of things in daily life. 〇 It is also ideal as a gift for those who like Zen teachings and those who wish for inner peace. 【Product Details】 Writing: Handwritten by the seller (self-written) Calligraphy: One-of-a-kind Size: Shikishi (approx. 36cm long x 6cm wide) Condition: Brand new, unused We will carefully pack and deliver it with care. ※ Because it is a handwritten work, there are shades of ink and blurring that are not found in mass-produced products.
