Description Bring Zen into Your Interior! A Zen phrase is more than just words—it’s a window into mindfulness and tranquility. Rooted in simplicity, these expressions seamlessly complement minimalist and calming interiors, adding both beauty and depth to your living space. Zen and the Art of the Tea Ceremony Zen and the Japanese tea ceremony share a profound connection, known as "Chazen Ichimi" (the unity of Zen and tea). Both traditions emphasize mindfulness, harmony, and living fully in the present. This connection is reflected in the tea room, where Zen phrases are often displayed on scrolls as chagake, to inspire reflection and set the tone for the gathering. Bringing such a phrase into your home continues this tradition, blending elegance with moments of quiet peace.Zen word A Reflection on Connection and Harmony The phrase "Flowing Water Always Returns to the Ocean" (流水元入海) reminds us that, no matter how far we may drift, we remain tied to our origins and the universal truths. As Zen priest Fukan Shaku beautifully expressed, "The moon sets in the west but never leaves the sky; water flows endlessly yet remains connected to the ocean." Like water flowing to the vast ocean, life always returns to its essence. These words offer calm and reassurance, reminding us that balance and harmony are always within reach. Imagine this scroll hanging in your living room or meditation space, offering a moment of calm every time you see it. Its simple yet profound message can inspire mindfulness and bring a sense of peace to your everyday life.Size:The main paper measures approximately 41.3" H x 11.4" W, with an overall size of 67.7" H x 12.2" W when displayed.Zen Calligraphy Master Taigen Kobayashi (Kobayashi Taigen) Born in 1938 in Mukden (present-day Shenyang, China).
