The calligraphy bears the artist’s signature and seals and comes with its Tomobako (original signed paulownia box) and its original paper box.
The phrase describes natural scenery, including wind and sunlight, as constantly changing. In a Zen context, it suggests that people also continue to develop inwardly from day to day, often without noticing the change.
Hosoai Katsudo (1910-2005) served as chief priest of Ryogen-in, a subtemple of Daitokuji. He was also known for calligraphy and for making Japanese fans and tea utensils.
Ryogen-in is one of the older subtemples of Daitokuji and is known for its Zen gardens.
