About the Hanging Scroll
This work is printed on washi paper.
The hanging scroll is mounted using luxurious gold brocade,
creating a richly decorative appearance,
while featuring the well-known Zen phrase
“Nichinichi Kore Kōjitsu.”

Details
“Nichinichi Kore Kōjitsu” is a Zen phrase
meaning “Every day is a good day.”
At first glance, it may sound like a simple,
optimistic statement that “every day is pleasant,”
but the phrase carries a much deeper meaning.

It expresses an attitude of mind
that accepts each day as it is,
regardless of hardship or sorrow,
and finds value within it.
The teaching encourages us to embrace daily life in its entirety—
not only joy,
but also suffering and change—
and to meet each moment with gratitude.

Underlying this phrase is a core Zen principle:
the importance of cherishing the present moment.
Even without extraordinary events,
it reminds us that ordinary daily life itself
is something precious.

In the world of the tea ceremony, for example,
the spirit of “Nichinichi Kore Kōjitsu” is deeply valued,
guiding practitioners to savor each fleeting moment
of preparing and sharing tea.

While it naturally suits a traditional tokonoma alcove,
it is also recommended to display this scroll
in a personal room,
where you can quietly contemplate it day by day.
