Scrolls

Zen calligraphy has eloquently expressed the Dharma for centuries. A single word, a phrase or even a line of poetry and the entire universe is illuminated.

These hanging scrolls have been traditionally framed in Japan with beautiful paper, many with gold-figured insets. Each has been sensitively mounted with appropriate colors and patterns that reflect the subject of the calligraphy. These museum-quality scrolls come with a wooden presentation box and a protective inner case.

PLEASE NOTE: All calligraphy shown have been sold. Please check back, new scrolls will be added.

Ryu Sui Kanzan No Michi
Running Water Leads To Barrier Mountain

This is a revised version of the Chinese poem: “Running Water Leads To Cold Mountain”. Both ‘barrier’ and ‘cold’ are pronounced ‘kan’. While ‘cold mountain’ is a Chinese poet's name, ‘barrier mountain’ is the name of the founder of Myoshin-Ji, Kanzan Egen Zenji.
