"Buddha Enso" is a striking example of Japanese calligraphy, or *shodo*, by the artist Kasumi Bunsho (1905-1998). The work features bold, expressive brushstrokes that depict the Japanese character for "Buddha" within a circular *enso* (circle). The *enso* symbolizes enlightenment and the interconnectedness of all things, a central concept in Zen Buddhism. The composition's simplicity and power evoke the artist's deep understanding of both calligraphy and Zen philosophy.
