無尽蔵 reads Mujinzō and refers to something that never runs out or disappears, no matter how much is taken or used. It also describes a state of immense abundance.

The Calligrapher's Words

Originally, in Buddhism, Mujinzō referred to the “treasure house” containing infinite merit (good deeds that bring positive rewards) and teachings—in other words, “Buddhism itself.”

As a Zen phrase, it is also used in the tea ceremony and Zen terminology as an abbreviation for “Mu-ichi-motsu-chū Mujinzō” (lit. “In the state of having nothing, there is an inexhaustible treasure”—meaning that precisely because one possesses nothing, the mind is filled with infinite possibilities and abundance).

Because I believe an inexhaustible love lives within the human heart, I felt compelled to write this phrase. And I wrote it with a conscious focus on strong, natural brushstrokes.
