Sengai

"The works of the Rinzal Zen master Gibbon Sengai (1750-1837) are among the most renowned of all Japanese art. Here are 128 examples of great teacher's ink paintings and drawings, accompanied by D. T. Suzuki's commentary on each piece's context and meaning. Sengai's art was his Zen teaching, giving expression to the ineffable with energy, humor, and breathtaking simplicity. To behold it is to encounter that teaching - as fresh for us today as it was for Sengai's students two hundred years ago."--BOOK JACKET.
