Enso, Bamboo & Katana

Beschreibung

Bold sumi-e upper-arm piece combining an enso brush circle and kanji with bamboo, a perched bird, flying swallows and a katana planted in roots. The enso symbolizes Zen, enlightenment and impermanence; the kanji evokes samurai/warrior ideals. Bamboo and birds suggest resilience and freedom. Strong blackwork, brushstroke aesthetic.
