A unique and artistic wall decoration with a powerful message from Zen Buddhism.

The calligraphy displays the characters 心 (kokoro) - "heart" or "spirit" - and 浄 (jou) - "pure" or "clean".

Together, they form "心浄" (shinjo or kokoro jou), meaning "pure heart" or "purity of mind".

This commonly used phrase in Japanese culture symbolizes a state of inner purity and spiritual cleanliness.

The calligraphy on the board is an artistic representation of these characters, radiating a sense of peace and spiritual purity.

This unique board is more than a decorative element; it is a source of inspiration and a reminder of the pursuit of inner purity and spiritual enlightenment.

On the back, the engraver's signature is displayed: 八十五 柏翁刻, meaning "Engraved by Kashiwa Okina at age 85". less
