矢野一甫 Yano Ippo (b1924), Abbot of Zouunji Temple, Daitokuji School of Rinzai Zen Buddhism, 1963.
with signature 'Zendaitoku Zoun Ippo' 前大徳 蔵雲 一甫 and seal 'Daitoku Sanshu' 大徳山主 'Ippo' 弌甫
Marked by bold, cleansing energy, this hanging scroll by Yano Ippo (b.1924) presents the Zen phrase Senshin—“to wash or purify the heart”—expressed through broad, confident strokes that embody both discipline and release. The characters rise with a steady vertical rhythm, their ink tones shifting from dense black to soft tapering edges, revealing Ippo’s practiced control as abbot of Zōun‑ji of the Daitoku‑ji school. His inscription “Zendaitoku Zōun Ippo” and the seals “Daitoku Sanshu” and “Ippo” affirm the work’s lineage and spiritual grounding. The composition balances force and openness, suggesting that purification is not an act of erasure but a return to clarity. Accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), the scroll retains strong provenance and careful preservation. Within a collection or interior, it introduces a crisp, meditative presence—its message of inner cleansing adding cultural depth and a quietly revitalizing atmosphere to the surrounding space.
