was for a benefit art show toward the purchases of Tassajara. Here's what I wrote about it for the in-progress 2nd edition of Crooked Cucumber:
Spending a whole afternoon on a cushion at the low table in his office,
at the request of his student,
Mike Dixon, Suzuki drew an enso, a sumi circle, for a poster
announcing a benefit art show, drawing one incomplete circular stroke
after another, going through sheet after sheet of rice paper, till he
got a stroke that satisfied him. It was soon used as well for the cover
of a fundraising brochure. He didn't do a voluminous amount of
calligraphy, as is common among Japanese priests, but this simple enso
would come to greet countless gazes.
