Nihon Essay / Zuihitsu (Nihon Essay / Zuihitsu) These are Zen words written in Chinese, such as "Ichigo ichie" and "Seiko uyomi," but in fact, you can read Zen thoughts from a single kanji character. When you learn the background and Buddhist meanings of the characters, such as sky, nothingness, void, enlightenment, target, person, gate, cultivation, spring, and silence, as well as life and death from disease, the characters you casually use give a deep sense of meaning and enrich your daily life. For example, "Un" (clouds). In the past, clouds were seen as marks of the movement of dragons, and it was thought that they came out from a cave called "Shuu" in the mountains. However, in any case, the direction is left to the wind. There is no obstacle to the movement of the mind. The water also follows the edge and flows freely without hindrance. From the way it walks freely in search of a mentor like "Gyoun Ryusui," changing its location and shape freely, without hindrance, the Zen trainee monk was called "Unsui". I envy such a free era. My senior told me to "stay here and travel". Genyu Sokyu, a Akutagawa Award winning writer and Zen monk, selected 365 characters as "Every letter" in this book. It explains the ideas and perspectives of Zen and Buddhism contained in these characters with a lot of fun.
