by Sesshu

"The Japanese Zen monk Sesshu was a master of powerful, rough brush strokes strokes. Rocks and bamboo are sharply actual against the back-ground of mountain and space, as though experienced for the first time. The actuality of the living, immediate presents is one of the forms taken by Zen realization. (Landscape in Haboku style, painting by Sesshu, Japan, 1495)"
