07 Apr Kanzan (寒山)
This work is carried by the powerful, emphatic brushstrokes of black ink on paper, unrestrained and expressive. The kanji characters spell the name of Kanzan (Hansan in Chinese), a mythologized figure in the canon of Chinese Buddhist tradition. The work is the barest of statements, a moment captured through the process of calligraphy, momentous in its simplicity and beauty. It is an enthralling, meditative piece; the amorphous characters in ink-wash seem to take on the shape of mountain landforms and rivers, beyond literal meaning.
