Zensho's mysterious painting touches the heart directly and speaks to people through its great beauty and expressiveness, awakening the spiritual intuition of the viewer. His painting is the expression of a lifelong practice of meditation.

The spontaneity of his artistic creation is the result of his spiritual realization. When painting, Zensho always has a relaxed consciousness, as in Zen meditation. His mind is empty, clearly focused and free of thoughts and ideas. This mental clarity makes his paintings subtle, free and transparent with a glassy transparency of color.

Zensho's paintings appeal above all to people who are interested in spirituality and Buddhism.
