zen has always had a strong interest in calligraphy, and famous calligraphers, ryokan for one !
the thing about calligraphy is it is not just the characters that are important, but the space around the words creates resonances that impact the meaning
to do that digitally on reddit is still possible, for example the way i have spaced this conveys something a bit different from its straight meaning !
zen has always had a strong showing in the arts, poetry, sculpture (bankei was a sculptor), pottery, painting, calligraphy
you know , masters weren't just the ewk/buji type nilhists so easy to copy but had positive artistic abilities
i know this doesn't suit today's generations of game playing consumerists with nothing in the way of artistic skills except a sullen mediocrity . .
