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

Each post features a recent brush pen drawing or painting accompanied by one Japanese word, 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).

#zenmondays latest posts:

Swaying in silver threaded waters, under a pine tree’s shade.

Longing for the stars of an autumn sky.

The greatest distance to overcome between humans is time.

Marvel at the colors floating on a fall breeze.

Smell the warmth of Autumn on your path.

Sometimes reality takes you further than any dream. Celebrating hundred Mondays of zen!

Listen to the sound of insects hovering near the changing color trees.
