fūgai ekun (1568 – 1654)
Discover fūgai ekun, a 16th-century Japanese painter famed for expressive lines & bold colors depicting Buddhist figures like Daruma & Hotei. Explore his iconic works!
Daruma (Sanskrit: Bodhidharma) is the first patriarch of Zen Buddhism, who, according to legend, sat in continuous meditation for nine years in a cave in northern China. Following the medieval tradition of monochromatic depictions of Daruma, the Sōtō sect Zen master Fūgai Ekun created numerous minimalist, powerful paintings such as this. The extensive blank space both accommodates an inscription and suggests a metaphysical state of nothingness.
