More about the book

The book explores the lives of three remarkable Zen figures: Ikkyu, Hakuin, and Ryokan. Ikkyu stands out for his defiance against religious hypocrisy, while Hakuin's rigorous training shaped him into a revered Master Teacher, guiding many disciples through challenging Zen practices. In contrast, Ryokan embraced a serene, poetic existence as a recluse, focusing on nature and art rather than formal leadership. Each master uniquely expressed Zen through their artistic endeavors, using brush and ink to convey deep teachings and personal insights.
