福本積應 Fukumoto Sekio (b1930)
Daitoku-ji school, Shoshun-ji chief priest

with signature 'Zen Daitoku Sekio so' 前大徳積應叟 and seal 'Sokei' 曹渓 'Sekio' 積應

Rendered with bold, unhurried strokes, this hanging scroll by Fukumoto Sekio (b.1930) presents the Zen phrase Byōjōshin kore dō—“The ordinary mind is the Way”—a teaching that emphasizes calm awareness and the quiet clarity found in everyday life. Sekio’s brushwork, at once powerful and spacious, reflects his training as chief priest of Shōshun‑ji of the Daitoku‑ji school, where disciplined calligraphy is inseparable from meditative practice. The vertical flow of the characters carries a steady rhythm, while the interplay of thick lines, tapered endings, and intentional pauses reveals a mind settled in concentration. His signature “Zen Daitoku Sekio sō” and the seals “Sokei” and “Sekio” affirm the work’s lineage and authenticity. Accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), the piece retains strong provenance and careful preservation. Within a collection or interior, the scroll introduces a grounded, contemplative presence—its message of ordinary‑mind clarity adding cultural depth and a quiet, enduring sense of balance to the surrounding space.
