Description
This calligraphy shows the kanji Mu, 無 translated as emptiness, brushed in sosho, the cursive style of Japanese calligraphy.
After brushing this cursive Mu calligraphy, I thought it looked like a musical note, as if it were the eternal sound of emptiness, hence the title Zen Mu-sic.
The emptiness calligraphy also reminded me of this verse 'True emptiness is silent but always present', written by the 14th century Chinese Zen master hermit Stonehouse.
(poem taken from "The Zen Works of Stonehouse", translated by Red Pine, Counterpoint)
