Zen No Sho: The Calligraphy of Fukushima Keido Roshi

Rating:
Summary: The gentleness of simple beauty
Review: Jason Wirth has gathered together an impressive group of scholars to comment not only on the work of Fukushima, but also the art of Zen calligraphy itself. This gorgeous book looks at the art of Japanese Calligraphy through the eye of the philosopher-- and illuminates the beauty, grace, and subtelty of this seemingly simple art form-- revealing that what at first may seem to be simple strokes is actually a journey unto itself. Highly recommended for those new to this art form as well those who are already quite familiar.
