Bokuseki

From the Kamakura period to the beginning of the Edo period, the calligraphy left by the leading Zen priests of China and of our country was called bokuseki. The calligraphy of leading priests, mainly of Daitoku-ji temple, was especially highly valued in chanoyu. Sen no Rikyu valued bokuseki hanging scrolls as the union of chanoyu and zen.
