[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools hanging scroll (kakejiku)] One line: A calm mind is the way or the forerunner This year will be safe and the buds will bloom on the final day Written by Matsunata Yasuhiro (Muneyoshi)

● Byojoshin koredo (calm mind is the way)… In short, it expresses that the ceaseless activity of the universe and nature is always “calm” and true. It is the state of spending everyday life normally, without being involved in the changes of the natural world.
The Way does not belong to knowledge, nor to ignorance. The ordinary mind is enlightenment.
●The first one ended the year safely and without incident.
