I am offering a calligraphy of the "Heart Sutra" written in kaisho (standard script) by Master Matsushio. ▼ About Master Matsushio Master Matsushio, from a young age, underwent rigorous training at various locations including Mount Koya and the Shikoku Pilgrimage, under the chief priest of the Fuku-sen-in Daishido temple of the Shingon sect in Mie Prefecture. He has deeply mastered both Shingon Esoteric Buddhism and calligraphy. ▼ About the Heart Sutra The Heart Sutra is estimated to have been established in India approximately 2,000 years ago. It was introduced to Japan about 1,300 years ago. Over the long years, many people have witnessed its efficacy, and it has been passed down to this day as a valuable mantra. The Heart Sutra is believed to possess mystical power, and the calligraphy by Master Matsushio, who has deeply mastered both Shingon Esoteric Buddhism and calligraphy, is very powerful and valuable. ▼ About Kaisho (Standard Script) Kaisho is one of the styles of writing Chinese characters, characterized by carefully writing each stroke without distortion. The strokes are clear, and the balance is well-maintained, making it easy to read and considered the basis of handwriting. Master Matsushio's kaisho is written with soul in each stroke. ▼ Size and Price of the Heart Sutra (Reference Values) Mounted calligraphy: Width approx. 50.0cm, Height approx. 207.0cm, Price: ¥500,000 Calligraphy only: Width approx. 35.5cm, Height approx. 137.0cm, Price: ¥300,000 (Note) The Heart Sutra shown is a sample of the mounted calligraphy. ▼ About the Uses of the Heart Sutra Display the calligraphy at home or in the workplace, and chant the Heart Sutra and put your hands together every day. By placing the calligraphy (it doesn't need to be mounted) in the coffin of the deceased (spreading the Heart Sutra from the neck down over the deceased), you can express your gratitude to the deceased and your wish for their peaceful rest. ▼ For Your Personalized Heart Sutra If you wish to specify the paper for the Heart Sutra (additional cost required), or if you want to include your thoughts in the Heart Sutra (no additional cost), please consult with us in a message after the start of the transaction.
