This Japanese hanging scroll features Zen calligraphy by Hasegawa Kanshu / 長谷川寛州, a Rinzai Zen priest associated with Daitoku-ji Sangen-in / 大徳寺三玄院 in Kyoto.

The inscription reads Taki / 瀧, meaning waterfall.

The single large character is written with a bold vertical brushstroke, giving the scroll a powerful and refreshing Zen atmosphere. In tea ceremony display, waterfall-themed calligraphy is especially suitable for the summer season, evoking coolness, flowing water, purification, and the quiet strength of nature.

This is a hand-brushed calligraphy work on paper, mounted as a traditional Japanese hanging scroll. It is suitable for a tokonoma alcove, tea room, Zen room, meditation space, study, or Japanese-style interior.

The scroll comes with a signed paulownia wooden box.
