Wall Art | Japanese Tanka Poem | Matte Art Print | Think & Stroll

This minimal wall art is a transcription of Denmeg’s artwork, maintaining its delicate expression.
The traditional Japanese 市松模様(Koushi – Chess pattern) is formed with thin Japanese hiragana letters in shodo calligraphy. By looking at the artwork, you may quietly feel the message rather than reading the meaning of the letters.

The Wallart: Poem (Tanka) | A soothing stroll | みぎひだりみぎひだりとなえ　あしはこぶ　むしん　みちみち こむそうになる
Meaning: On a calm afternoon, I count my steps under my breath as I walk; it begins to feel like a measured recitation and I slip into the frame of mind of a chanter.
むしん(Mushin) = The mind free of worries, filled with purity, and all impure thoughts vanish, making one resemble a monk.
