The calligraphy is brushed on rice paper and is ready to be framed. This calligraphy depicts the Heart Sutra Mantra 'gyatei gyatei, haragyatei, harasôgyatei, boji sowaka'. This wisdom mantra from the Heart Sutra, that is said to reconnect one with one's own inherent awakened nature, is brushed in the gyosho or semi-cursive style of Japanese calligraphy. The calligraphy shows a balanced brush work, with characters that combine a free, dynamic brush work with well formed brush strokes. The Sanskrit version of this mantra is : "Gate gate, paragate parasangate bodhi svaha." The English translation is: "Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond, enlightenment hail!" Size of the calligraphy in cm: 42 x 29 x 0.2 cm.

My artwork comprises Zen calligraphy, watercolor and ink paintings, and abstract calligraphies. My mediums are ink, watercolors and natural pigments on rice paper, mainly Xuan paper. I wield the Chinese and Japanese brush, preferably the flexible sheep's hair brush. Many of my Zen calligraphies express the Emptiness teaching from the Heart Sutra, which has been the original inspiration for my Japanese calligraphy artwork. Other calligraphies focus on the teachings of the Diamond Sutra, Platform Sutra, or depict Zen koan, Zen poetry or single kanji. In my watercolors and ink paintings I strive for a pictorial synthesis of the subject, in the spirit of Japanese ink painting, using bold washes and vivid brush strokes.
