This calligraphic work mounted as a hanging scroll contains a single line of text consisting of eight Chinese characters in cursive script, in which the characters are not linked. The writing style, in tandem with the Zen message, reflect Genkō’s years of study, from 1320 to 1326, in China with Zhongfeng Mingben (1263-1323), one of the most influential Chan (Zen) masters of the early Yuan dynasty—who emphasized cultivation of the mind over reliance on textual tradition and was, as well, a celebrated calligrapher. The practice of calligraphy was part of the Zen spiritual tradition, and calligraphy came to have a major role within the cultural milieu of Japanese Zen temples. The single line of text in this hanging scroll displays characteristics of calligraphy introduced to Japan from China along with Zen: a spontaneity, plus idiosyncratic elements indicative of the Zen practitioner’s detachment from rules and conventional standards.
