Description |
This scroll was drawn in 1987 or 1988 when Kansho was 88 years old.
There are few spots.
So, the condition of this scroll is very good.
A Zen phrase in one line is drawn in good form by the 406th chief abbot
of the Shingon-Shu Sect.
The phrase in literal translation is that "Everyday is a good day".
Though, the paraphrase (free translation) is that " Clear the mind of stuffs, simply accept what happened today and enjoy today." |
