桃李一蹊春 Tori Ikkei no Haru
Peach and plum blossoms bloom in the valley, heralding the arrival of spring. This word is an analogy of how people naturally gather around people who are virtuous, just as people gather in search of the beautiful flowers and fruits of peaches and plums, and paths are formed naturally.
福本積應 Fukumoto Sekio (b1930)
Daitoku-ji school, Shoshun-ji chief priest
with signature 'Zen Daitoku Sekio' 前大徳積應 and seal 'Sokei' 曹渓 'Sekio' 積應
The flow of the composition moves downward from the calligraphy into the circular arrangement of children playing musical instruments, creating a gentle visual rhythm that echoes the meaning of the phrase Tori Ikkei no Haru, which likens the natural gathering of people around virtue to the way paths form toward the blossoms of peach and plum; this balance of written expression and lively figural depiction reflects the work of Fukumoto Sekio (b. 1930), a Daitoku-ji monk and chief priest of Shoshun-ji known for integrating Zen sentiment with approachable imagery, and the scroll bears the signature ‘Zen Daitoku Sekio’ along with the seals ‘Sokei’ and ‘Sekio’, while the piece is accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), allowing the work’s gentle harmony between teaching and playfulness to settle into a quiet, enduring presence.
