Below, my grubby raksu, painted cleanly by my Zen teacher, Kyudo Nakagawa Roshi. "Genkaku"
means approximately "original realization" or
"original understanding."

  1. Thank you for sharing two wonderful portraits of you. The first one brought back memories of artwork and artists from the heyday of the Art Student's League in NY. I can smell the turp now. Beautiful work.
