What is the Enso?
White paper, a calligraphy brush, black ink
The Enso is an open or closed circle drawn in a single, fluid stroke during one complete breath.
It represents everything and nothing, reflects the character of its creator at one moment in time, and symbolizes all that is and all that can be at any given moment.
The art of drawing an Enso is purifying. It clears the mind. It cleanses the soul. It provides a path forward.
Anything is possible.
