Zen Mondays are a weekly feature inspired by my Japanese language (日本語) and Japanese ink painting (水墨画) learning journey, published here on my site since 2017.

Each post features a recent brush pen drawing or painting, paired with one photograph from my travel records. Nothing else.

Some of the drawings shared on zen Mondays have been selected for the edition “One Moment, One Drawing”, first published in December 2018 (see more details of the edition here). You can find more of my daily art and background to zen Monday posts on instagram (follow here).

• Flame red blossoms, the dull young robin’s shelter.
• The summer’s edge, Morning glories blooming still, a bee‘s buzz nears.
• From the damp earth’s viewpoint, sprouting white umbrellas.
