Enso 

Foreword by John Daido Loori

The enso, or Zen Circle, one of the most profound symbols in the art of Zen, points to the direct experience of the nature of reality beyond thought, speech and words. It symbolizes enlightenment, and is said to express the realization of the artist who brushes it.

This book is a collection of the finest examples of enso art from the 17th century to the present, each with commentary that focuses on the meaning of the art and its historical context. Included are biographies of the artists, many of whom are important Zen masters. A superb gift book.

Hardcover, 170 pages.
