This Zen phrase, which clearly expresses the sound of boiling water in a kettle in a serene space, known as "Matsukaze" (wind in the pines), is a Zen term that expresses this concept in an easy-to-understand manner. It is written by the Omotesenke Horinouchi Soshu, so it can be used with confidence at formal tea ceremonies. The inside of the shared box lid is inscribed with "Self-written line, Matsukaze ari, Kenchusai." There are some slight wrinkles (photo 12), and there is a very small hole on the back side of the hanging rod (photo 13). There are no problems at all when hanging it. The overall condition is good. Shared box. Paper. Lacquered axis. Length 179.5 cm, width 30.7 cm (including mounting) "Matsukaze ni Seion ari" [Reading] shofu ni seion ari [Meaning] The wind in the pines has a pure sound. It is where one transcends the opposition between self and other and becomes one with the refreshing wind in the pines. The way the trees are swayed by the wind blowing through the pine forest also heals the heart. This state represents that there is nothing comparable to it in the human world. ▢ 12th Kenchusai Sokan (Kenchusai Sokan) Taisho 8 (1919) - Heisei 27 (2015) Omotesenke tea master. 12th generation of the Horinouchi family.
