柳生紹尚 Yagyu Shojo Daitoku-ji Japanese Zen kakejiku kakemono hanging scroll / 円相 Enso 和 Wa with Original Box (Tomobako) RE984

円相 Enso
In Zen, it expresses 和 wa (harmony or peace). It has no beginning and end, you may judge as you like, it can be sometimes seen as moon. Enso is a circle that is hand drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create.

和 Wa
Although it conveys the meanings of ‘softening’, ‘relaxing’ and ‘getting along’, in Zen, ‘wa’ transcends the mere notions of peace and harmony to embody a profound spiritual state. It is a term that encompasses a spirit of mutual respect; harmony between Buddhist teachings, one’s own mind and the surrounding environment; and a state of natural, unburdened tranquillity, free from attachment.
