- 30.0cm x 90.0cm
A scroll inscribed with the characters for “Hell” would have made viewers reflect on their conduct and the transience of worldly phenomena. This work is a striking example of the individualistic calligraphy favored in Rinzai Zen circles and among tea aesthetes. Seigan Sōi, whose explosive brushwork creates the impression of a blade cutting through the paper, was abbot of Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto.
