About Zen calligraphy
Over the last thousand years, practitioners of Zen Buddhism have developed a distinct and dynamic style of brushwork calligraphy. The Japanese term bokuseki, “ink traces”, refers to the way that the mind-state of the calligrapher is expressed intensely and directly through the brush. In this workshop we will be exploring a unique system of Zen body-mind practice which heightens and energises the practitioner’s presence and allows this vitality to manifest visually on paper.
