This artwork, "Enso," by Japanese Zen Buddhist monk Nakahara Nantenbo (1839-1925), is a classic example of Zen art. The simple yet powerful circle, drawn with a single brushstroke, represents enlightenment, emptiness, and the interconnectedness of all things. The calligraphy surrounding the Enso adds further meaning and context, though it is unknown what exactly it says. This artwork embodies the minimalist aesthetic and spiritual depth of Zen philosophy, appealing to viewers interested in meditation, calligraphy, and Eastern art.
