[Fuh-mi] Kakejiku - Zen Calligraphy

Bushido's origins were influenced by Zen Buddhism, Shinto, and Confucian principles, according to Inazo Nitobe.

Eisai and Dogen introduced the Rinzai and Soto sects to Japan at the start of the Kamakura period (1185-1333). Warriors who faced death on a daily basis were soon attracted to the concept of confronting the underlying nature of one's heart and attaining enlightenment through zazen. "One quietly accepts a peaceful trust in fate and the inevitability of things through Zen Buddhism."

Zen is a "human endeavor to reach a realm beyond what language can represent through meditation." It might be regarded as samurai spiritual training to help them understand impermanence and prepare for the most significant event of their lives: death.

This Kakejiku is a "Maruhyoso Kakejiku": It is made in Japan with high-quality kifune donsu. The honshi is made of high-grade gasen-shi, a traditional paper made of natural fibers used primarily for Sumi-e (brush painting) and calligraphy.
