About this artwork
This is written " 無 ", zero.
This work represents the image of a person doing Zazen, Zen meditation training, trying to clear the mind and concentrate to attain zero-minded. He created it with the hope to bring calm to one's mind when people feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed.
Original Japanese calligraphy on the Chinese Xuan paper, which is renowned for high quality with being soft and… fine texture.
Sumi ink is made by rubbing the traditional Japanese ink stick on the inkstone to create the best color before writing. Japanese brushes he uses are handmade by artisans, which realizes the delicate lines of the ink.
The work is paneled, which is supported by a wooden board.
Metal hooks are attached to the back, and ready to hang on the wall.

« I find the coolness and beauty in daily life and try to express it in my own way. »
Wada’s art is an “art of the line” that captures traditional calligraphy’s essence while striving to transcend it. His creation begins from nothingness. He forgets the classics, returns to innocence, and draws from the stillness of Zen.
Some of his pieces bear signs of damage. When such unintended marks fuse with the intentional lines, a deep resonance is born. There is a fine line between such work becoming mere trash or transforming miraculously into beauty —and Wada believes true beauty exists precisely on that edge.
