Lame Beggar on a Handcart 

"Lame Beggar on a Handcart" is a Zen ink-and-wash drawing by Hakuin Ekaku, a renowned Zen master and artist, who lived between c. 1686 and c. 1769. This artwork depicts a beggar, likely meant to be a representation of the artist himself, as he pushes a handcart, perhaps symbolizing the weight of his life. Hakuin Ekaku was famous for his playful and unconventional approach to Zen, which can be seen in his artwork. This humorous sketch, with its simple and expressive lines, exemplifies Hakuin's unique style and his ability to find humor in the mundane aspects of life.
