Set of 3 Zen Calligraphy Slips (Handwritten Works)

This is a set of three tea ceremony calligraphy slips featuring the Zen phrases Kissa-ko, Shujinko, and Mujinzo, all handwritten by myself.

These slips are perfect for decorating the tokonoma (alcove) in a tea room and can be used regardless of the season. We hope you will take this opportunity to acquire these powerful calligraphic works that help you connect with your true self and find inner peace.

[Condition and Storage of Works]
- These are works I previously created.
- After creation, they have been carefully stored in a dark place to prevent damage to the calligraphy. There are no signs of sun fading, creases, or noticeable stains.
- They are in the convenient format of calligraphy slips that can be easily hung and changed.

[Meaning of Each Zen Phrase] (Spirit of Tea Ceremony and Zen)
● Kissa-ko (喫茶去): Please have some tea.
Meaning: This refers to the attitude of wholeheartedly offering tea to anyone, regardless of their status or position, with the simple invitation, Please have tea here and now. It embodies the core spirit of the tea ceremony, which emphasizes focusing on the present moment without being bound by the past or future, and facing guests with equality.

● Shujinko (主人公): True self
Meaning: This does not refer to the protagonist of a novel or movie, but rather to one's own original subject, the true self. It carries a strong message of self-reliance, urging one to be the master of your own life, without being swayed by others or surrounding circumstances.

● Mujinzo (無尽蔵): Infinite treasure
Meaning: This phrase primarily originates from the Zen saying Muichibutsu chu mujinzo (無一物中無尽蔵), which means From having nothing (discarding selfish desires), infinite treasures emerge. It signifies a state of being where, by letting go of attachments and selfish desires, infinite possibilities, inexhaustible merit, and wisdom well up from within.

[Size] (Per calligraphy slip)
Height: Approximately 36 cm
Width: Approximately 6 cm

They will be packaged in OPP bags. Please understand.
