| Event Name: | Zen Calligraphy and Painting by Yamaoka Tesshu |
| Description: | This display of Zen calligraphy marks the 120th anniversary of the death of the Japanese statesman and master swordsman Yamaoka Tesshu.
Tesshu is famous for his statement that swordsmanship, Zen and calligraphy are identical in their aspiration to the state of no-mind (mushin). This view of calligraphy, which has its origins in China, sees it as a ‘picture of the mind’.
Featuring twenty-two magnificent hanging scrolls, the display includes works by the two of his contemporaries - Katsu Kaishu (1823 - 1899), one of Japan’s first internationalists, and Takahashi Deishu (1835 - 1903), a Zen statesman who retired from public life to devote himself to calligraphy.
