Budo Zen Art Gallery

(128) KATZU Daruma
Ohira Zenzo

This is a huge and impressive Daruma painting with a new mounting. KATZU is the Zen shout of enlightenment. It is by Ohira Zenzo (1874-1952) a kyudo master who signed himself the “Shooting (the arrow) Buddha.” Zenzo was very similar to Awa Kenzo, the kyudo master from the classic Zen in the Art of Archery. Both combined Zen elements with their teachings of the bow. Zenzo retired from business in his late fifties and devoted himself to teaching Zen archery and painting Zenga in the rough Nantembo style.
