| Truly the image of a man who culd not be felled, dark ink defines a strong backed Daruma by long time head priest of Tenryuji Seki Bokuo (1903-1991). It is completely remounted in pale patterned silk with black lacquered wood rollers. The scroll measures 18 by 75 inches (45.5 x 190 cm) and is in perfect condition but for some faint age spotting. Seki Bokuo was born in Gunma prefecture and studied at the Keio university medical course before taking up formal Zen training. He became Dharma-Heir of Seki Seisetsu. He spent many years as Zen master and abbot of the Rinzai Zen Temple Tenryu-ji in Kyoto. He is well known for the numerous books on different aspects of Zen training written over his near half century at Tenryuji, and was a talented Zen artist. An important and influential Zen figure helping to spread understanding through the tumultuous 20th century. | ||||||||
