Fukushima Roshi is head abbot of Tofuku-ji Monastery. The gentle forms of Fukushima's calligraphy are rife with the erupting force of mushin. This book reproduces 20 pieces of Fukushima's calligraphy. It shows all three generations of bridge builders of one of the most important lineages of dharma transmission from Japan to the US.

Review:

"A professional calligrapher is often concerned with form--it is perhaps their greatest concern. But when a Zen Master expresses himself through calligraphy, the main purpose is the expression of Zen mind (mushin)."
