Four Panel Calligraphy

A distinctive piece for collectors, the Four Panel Calligraphy Screen expresses the beauty and mystery of "The Human Route," an ancient Zen poem. The large calligraphic circle in the center of the screen is called an enso. It represents Substance, Original Nature, or the Great Question, "What Is This?". Next to the enso, painted in Chinese characters, are the first lines of this famous poem - "Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed - that is human."

Handmade mulberry paper, one of Korea's most revered craft traditions, covers the surface of this elegant, handpainted, folding screen. Four 13.5" panels with decorative brass hangers. 54" w x 36" h.
