Zen Artistry in the Modern World


The Goal of Zen Artistry



The goal of Zen artistry is to combine the ancient wisdom of the past with the demands and applications of the present. We provide examples of Zen influence in a modern context.
Throughout this site, we find ourselves making innumerable
connections from early Zen practice to the present day that’s seen in a variety of settings and venues. From the ancient Japanese garden of Ryoanji in Kyoto to the creation of the Apple iPhone in the 21st century, these representations emerge from the same sensibility and creative well-spring through time. Zen artistry presupposes a distinct lens
and perspective on spirituality, personal conduct as well
as creativity in design. So, we invite you to take a journey together in considering Zen artistry from the past and its enduring influence.
