Hanging Scroll (Tea Bowl) 

This hanging scroll by Deiryu, a prominent Japanese artist of the 20th century, depicts a tea bowl rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes. The stark contrast between the black ink and the white paper is characteristic of Sumi-e, a style of East Asian ink painting. Deiryu's bold and minimalist style emphasizes the inherent beauty of the tea bowl, a significant object in Japanese tea ceremony. This artwork's simplicity and elegance reflect the Zen aesthetic, highlighting the connection between nature, art, and human experience.
