Banjin Dōtan
Banjin Dōtan is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
A Zen monk’s brush work in the 1700s, Banjin Dōtan left only a single scroll titled Calligraphy (Zen Master’s Staff). The piece is all fluid black strokes forming a single character above a slender, knotted staff, no background, no extra lines, just the moment the brush left the paper. If that spare line of ink feels like a breath after a long exhale, tap it to see the staff itself in close-up.
