Description
梶浦逸外 Kajiura Itsugai (1896-1981) Myoshin-ji Japanese Zen kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / 和 Wa with Original Box (Tomobako) RE665
和 Wa
Although it conveys the meanings of ‘softening’, ‘relaxing’ and ‘getting along’, in Zen, ‘wa’ transcends the mere notions of peace and harmony to embody a profound spiritual state. It is a term that encompasses a spirit of mutual respect; harmony between Buddhist teachings, one’s own mind and the surrounding environment; and a state of natural, unburdened tranquillity, free from attachment.
梶浦逸外 Kajiura Itsugai (1896-1981)
Abbot of Shogenji Temple in Gifu Prefecture and chief monk of the Myoshinji School. Founder of Shogen Junior College. Worked to spread Zen overseas.
Upper right seal 'Shobogen' 正法眼
with signature 'Myoshin Itsugai' 妙心逸外 and seal 'Baijukuken' 梅熟軒 'Itsugai Sojitsu' 逸外宗實
The single character Wa stands in a balanced tension between its broad central stroke and the supporting lines that frame it, giving the composition a poised structure that mirrors the Zen understanding of harmony as something steady rather than soft; this clarity of form aligns with the work of Kajiura Itsugai (1896–1981), abbot of Shogenji in Gifu, chief monk of the Myoshin‑ji school, and a figure who worked to bring Zen practice overseas, while the scroll bears the upper seal ‘Shobogen’ along with the signature ‘Myoshin Itsugai’ and the seals ‘Baijukuken’ and ‘Itsugai Sojitsu,’ and the piece is accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), allowing the character’s quiet equilibrium to settle into a calm, enduring presence.
