About the Artist
As a young monk, Kasumi Bunsho studied under the famous master Nantembo, and that master's influence is reflected in Bunsho's rough-hewn brushstrokes. Bunsho was the Dharma-heir of Deiryu, another outstanding Zen artist. Bunsho became abbot of Myoshin-ji in 1990, and produced many pieces of Zen art in his final years.
