Thank you for viewing. This is a one-of-a-kind, handwritten, original short poem card, brushed by myself with great care. "Shujinko" (Protagonist) 【Meaning of the Word】 The Zen term "Shujinko" (protagonist) does not refer to the main character of a story, but rather to **"the true self (one's original self) that is not swayed by anyone."** It is a crucial teaching in Zen, urging us to constantly look deeply within ourselves and live proactively, as in "Shujinko, awaken!" (True self, awaken!). 【Features of the Work】 I wrote this with a strong awareness of power and an unbroken flow. The message of "be strong" contained in these words is expressed with dynamic brushstrokes. Please enjoy the powerful calligraphy that questions your true self. The force of the brush and the depth of the ink, unique to a one-of-a-kind original piece, create a powerful effect that cannot be conveyed by printed materials. 【Recommended Scenes】 For tea ceremony practice/tea gatherings: Displaying it during daily practice will correct your mental attitude and cultivate a proactive spirit. It also adds a touch of elegance as a hanging scroll in the tea room. For decoration in a Japanese-style room or study: Displaying it in a tokonoma (alcove) or niche (display shelf) will provide a sense of tranquility to the space and give you the power to discipline yourself. For those with goals: It is also ideal as a spiritual support and a gift for those who are constantly looking within themselves and seeking the power to act. 【Product Details】 Calligraphy: Handwritten by the seller (original) Brushwork: One-of-a-kind Size: Short poem card (approx. 36cm tall × 6cm wide) Condition: Brand new, unused (carefully stored in a dark place) I will carefully pack it with care and deliver it to you. ※Because it is an original work, there are variations in ink density and blurring that are not found in mass-produced products.
