Tofu
Here, a poem by a Zen monk is juxtaposed with the image of a block of tofu. Through clever wordplay, the verses draw a parallel between humanity on the one hand and the seemingly ‘soft’ yet ‘firm’ block of cooked soybeans on the other hand. Shouldn’t people also be ‘gentle’ and ‘pliable’, while simultaneously standing ‘firm’ and ‘resolute’?
