From it`s beginning Zen has found a natural affinity with the ink brush.
Zen practitioners were capable of the most creative expression in calligraphy.
Ink painting is Zen art at it`s highest expression.
The Zen painter approaches his canvas as part of his practise, as contemplation, "empty canvas, blank mind".
Beauty is a secondary consideration.
What is left out is as important as what is left in.
A loaded ink brush is used on white silk or rice paper.
