円相+甲骨文字(Zen circle + Oracle bone script)​​​​​​​

円相+甲骨文字
Zen circle + Oracle bone script
Original character of 【太陽】(Sun)
太(thick)>Meaning that both hands and the shape of a person who stretched both feet is large + Two horizontal lines mean to doubling.By combining both, this letter holds.
陽(sunshine)>Shape of ladder for God to get off the sky + Jade ball that emits spiritual light on the base. With this combination, it became a character that means the sun that shines wide around us.

円相:Zen circle
Enso is a type of calligraphic technique in Zen calligraphy, which is a circle painted with a single stroke.It symbolizes the Absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void; it can also symbolize the Japanese aesthetic itself.
甲骨文字:Oracle bone script
Oracle bone script, the earliest known form of systematic Chinese writing, dates from the fourteenth to eleventh century BC. 
The oracle bones were used for divination, a process which involved inscribing a question with a bronze pin, then heating the bones and inspecting the resulting cracks to divine answers to one's questions. 
I tried to express meditative and quiet 'Zen Art' with subject matter of ancient characters.​​​​​​​
