Cultivating flowers on a rock
This term appears in the Zen Buddhist history book "Jingde Chuandeng Lu" and is said to refer to the ability to reveal mysteries that cannot be expressed. You may be wondering why I chose such a bold term, but I wrote it because I thought it would be something I should aim for as a teacher.
The amount of dots and strokes was an issue, but I tried to incorporate the style of seal painting to make the left and right sides balanced. I think I should have placed more importance on the natural rhythm of the brush strokes.
