Gibbon Sengai (1750-1837), Zen master of the Rinzai school, was one of Japan's greatest Zen artists, and his expressive calligraphies and paintings - his primary mode of teaching in the last half of his life - are renowned throughout the world. This study by the Zen scholar D.T. Suzuki was Suzuki's last published book, and it is said he considered it the culmination of his work. Each of the 128 images is accompanied by a commentary by Suzuki, to provide inside into the Zen teachings that each image exemplifies.
