This ink-on-paper painting by the Japanese Zen monk and artist Sengai (1750-1837), known as *Untitled*, depicts a figure in a relaxed pose, characterized by loose brushstrokes and minimalist detail. Sengai's work often incorporated humor and wit, challenging traditional artistic conventions. This piece exemplifies his playful approach to Zen art, demonstrating the connection between Zen philosophy and the art of brushwork. The figure's simplicity and spontaneity suggest a connection to the natural world and the search for inner peace, reflecting the core principles of Zen Buddhism.
