Boddhidarma
This piece is a scroll by the famous late calligrapher Kampo
Harada-Sensei. It
says
Nana-Kai, Ha-Korobi
which means "seven times down, up the eighth time". This speaks to the resiliency of the human spirit.
It is a picture of Boddhidharma, who brought the teachings of the Buddha from the East to the West.
(Kampo-Sensei was a close
friend of mine. When he drew this scroll for me, he said that he gave Boddhidharma a hairier chest than
normal to coincide with my own!) - Nyogetsu
