EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Cow, Oval Window and Haiku" by Hakuin Ekaku takes us on a journey through the realms of Zen Buddhism. This masterpiece, inked delicately on paper, showcases the immense talent of Hakuin Ekaku as a calligrapher, artist, and poet. In this artwork, we are drawn to the central figure of a cow gazing out from an oval window. The simplicity of this composition invites contemplation and reflection. The cow symbolizes tranquility and peace in Zen philosophy while the oval window represents a portal into another dimension - perhaps our own inner world. Accompanying this visual spectacle is a haiku poem written by Hakuin Ekaku himself. With just a few carefully chosen words, he captures the essence of Zen teachings: nature's beauty intertwined with profound wisdom. As we admire this print, we are reminded to seek harmony within ourselves and connect with the natural world around us. Housed in Musee Guimet in Paris, France, this artwork stands as a testament to Hakuin Ekaku's lasting influence as both an artist and spiritual guide. Its presence transcends time and space; it speaks directly to our souls regardless of cultural or religious background. This extraordinary piece serves as an invitation for introspection - an opportunity to pause amidst life's chaos and find solace in its serene beauty.
