“Hogo acquired importance as a calligraphic art expressing the personality and the cultural attainments of the zen priest writer... Typical of such is the hogo written by Mugaku Sogen (1226-1286) and presented to Ichio Ingo, ( -1281).”

“Three and seventy yearsI've drawn pure water from the fire -Now I become a tiny bug.With a touch of my bodyI shatter all worlds.”
