雪月花 Setsugekka
雪 means snow, 月 means moon, 花 means flower. It refers to the snow in winter, the moon in autumn, and the cherry blossoms in spring, and is a word that signifies the natural beauty and elegance of the four seasons.
大橋香林 Oohashi Korin (1901-1983)
Daitokuji school of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism. Abbot of Ryuou-ji temple.
with signature 'Zen Daitoku Korin so' 前大徳香林 叟 and seal 'Ryuou Shoshin' 龍王紹真 'Korin' 香林
This calligraphy by Ohashi Kōrin (1901–1983), abbot of Ryūō‑ji and a leading figure of the Daitoku‑ji school, presents the classical phrase Setsugekka—snow, moon, and blossoms—with a clarity that feels both seasonal and timeless. His brush rises in broad, confident strokes that evoke winter’s stillness, then shifts into lighter, more open forms that suggest the quiet glow of the moon and the fleeting delicacy of spring flowers. The composition breathes with the rhythm of the three motifs, each character carrying its own atmosphere while remaining harmoniously linked through Kōrin’s steady, unforced movement of ink. His signature Zen Daitoku Kōrin sō and accompanying seals anchor the work with a calm authority, while the mounting’s warm tones frame the calligraphy in a way that enhances its sense of natural elegance. Complete with its original box, the scroll embodies the refined simplicity of Zen aesthetics and the poetic beauty of the four seasons distilled into a single, expressive gesture.
