Bunsho's Monks

This is the direction my dream, the night before last, was supposed to go instead of tangenting to Fritz Lang! ;-)

As I noted earlier, I'd been thinking a lot about and viewing the works of Kasumi Bunsho.

Bunsho shared a fondness with Nantembo (an earlier Zen sumi-e master) for depicting lines of monks heading off on their begging rounds, the practice to instill humbleness and gratitude in the monks.

Bunsho was the 642nd abbot of Myoshin-ji, the head temple of the Rinzai sect of Zen.

So! Here I can't say this is 'in the style of' Bunsho -as I'm used Caran D'Ache Neocolor II crayons, rather than sumi (ink), but at least in the spirit of...
