雨過山転青 Amesugite Yamautata Aoshi
It is a word that describes the scenery where the fresh green mountains become even more blue and shiny when the rain stops. As the trials and hesitations of the rain pass, just as the mountain regains its original bright color, it indicates a state in which worries and cloudy minds clear away, and the true nature of what is is revealed.
松長剛山 Matsunaga Gozan (b1943)
Abbot of Kogiriin, the pagoda of Daitokuji Temple. Concurrently serving as abbot of Ryuouji Temple.
Upper right seal 'Koto Rozen' 髙桐老禅
with signature 'Murasakino Koto Gozan' 紫野 髙桐 剛山 and seal 'Daitoku Koto' 大德髙桐 'Gozan' 剛山
The sense of time after rainfall settles quietly into the calligraphy, the phrase Amesugite Yamautata Aoshi evoking the moment when the mountains regain their deeper blue-green clarity as the passing shower leaves both air and mind newly transparent; this expression aligns with the disciplined yet open brushwork of Matsunaga Gozan (b. 1943), abbot of Kogiriin of the Daitoku-ji temple complex and concurrently abbot of Ryuouji, whose Zen calligraphy often pairs natural imagery with states of inner clarity, and this scroll bears the signature ‘Murasakino Koto Gozan’ along with the seals ‘Koto Rozen’, ‘Daitoku Koto’, and ‘Gozan’, while the piece is accompanied by its box, allowing the work’s calm renewal motif to settle into a steady, reflective presence over time.
