description: For centuries, Zen monks in Japan have used the traditions of ink painting and poetry to aid them in meditation and express their insights. Zen by the Brush offers modern readers a simple, quick, and fun way to relax with Zen art. The full-color book contains an introduction to the basics of brush painting and Zen meditation. Along with Zen writings and Japanese-style sumi-e illustrations to inspire you, Zen by the Brush provides an enjoyable introduction to a meditative art and a means to practice the craft. Zen by the Brush includes a special painting board and brush in a reusable storage case. Using plain water, readers paint their own sumi-e pictures. The ink-like image fades after a minute or two as it dries-simply part of the Zen practice of letting go.
