春入千林處々鶯 Haru Senrinniiru Shoshono Uguisu:
The air of spring fills the forests, and everywhere there is a warbling of the bush warbler.
柳生紹尚 Yagyu Shojo, Daitoku-ji school, Hotoku-ji temple chief priest.
with signature 'Zen Daitoku Yagyu Shojo' 前大徳 柳生紹尚 and seal 'Hotoku Zenji' 芳徳禅寺 'Shojo' 紹尚
Carried by the vitality of bold, sweeping strokes, this calligraphic hanging scroll by Yagyu Shojo expresses the Zen phrase 春入千林處々鶯, a line that evokes the moment when spring permeates the forests and the song of the bush warbler can be heard everywhere. Shojo—chief priest of Hotoku‑ji and a leading figure of the Daitoku‑ji school—renders the characters with a rhythm that feels both spacious and alive, allowing each brush movement to breathe with the season’s quiet awakening. The vertical flow of ink shifts from powerful, grounded forms to lighter, more open gestures, creating a natural cadence that mirrors the poem’s sense of renewal. Signed “Zen Daitoku Yagyu Shojo” with the seals “Hotoku Zenji” and “Shojo”, the work carries the authority and contemplative depth of a seasoned Zen calligrapher. Accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), the scroll has been carefully preserved. Displayed within an interior, it introduces a serene, uplifting presence—its calligraphy resonating like a breath of spring that quietly transforms the atmosphere around it.
