佐藤朴堂 Sato Bokudo (b1935), Daitoku-ji Fukuju-in chief priest

with signature 'Zendaitoku Bokudo' 前大徳朴堂 and seal 'Bokudo' 朴堂 'Soshu' 宗秀

Expressing a calm, enduring joy through bold Zen brushwork, this hanging scroll by Sato Bokudō (b.1935) presents the phrase Kokoroshizukanishite Chōneno Rakuari—a teaching that suggests a quiet mind allows one to enjoy long years of peace. The characters, written with confident, unhurried strokes, balance strength and spaciousness, revealing Bokudō’s training as the chief priest of Daitoku‑ji Fukuju‑in and his command of the Zen calligraphic tradition. The interplay of thick and tapering lines creates a rhythm that feels both grounded and expansive, while the seals “Bokudō” and “Sōshū” affirm the work’s authenticity and spiritual lineage. Accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), the piece carries strong provenance and careful preservation. Within a collection or interior, the scroll introduces a serene, contemplative presence—its message of inner quiet and lasting joy adding cultural depth and a gentle, meditative clarity to the surrounding space.
