A small scrap of blue water jadeite, but the carved subject matter is so Zen!

A small Zen seal, like a traveler who happens to pass by and meditate here, the time is frozen in a small space but carries eternity. At a glance, the soul and thoughts have been introduced into the world, calming the mind and cultivating the nature, indifferent and peaceful.

Zen Seal

Once upon a time, a small seal was a symbol of power, a display of identity, and a proof of credibility. It was used to seal letters or to govern the military and maintain national security. All of these were slowly transferred through the movement of the small seal.

In the early days, seals were probably only used by kings, princes, generals and ministers. Now it has become a popular item for romantic people to enjoy on their desks.

The jade seal material needs to reach a certain height and thickness. The materials of seals vary greatly, but one thing is the same, because it represents the credit of the owner, so the material is generally required to be square and round.

The seal button is a decoration on the top of the seal. It is a microcosm of China's 5,000 years of stone carving and stone engraving. It integrates such techniques as round carving, relief carving, openwork carving, and line carving. This small seal button embodies the essence of carving and painting.

The design concept and artistic expression of this set of Zen seals absorb and draw on the splendid Chinese cave sculpture art, combining the beauty of natural stone shapes and fine carving.

Lines are like flowing thoughts, presenting different rhythms in squares and circles, thus achieving the beauty of shape and aura. Each one is naturally formed, interesting in its own way, and designed according to the shape without any restrictions.

The character portrayal continues the formless creative style, which is the artistic embodiment of "Buddha has no form, all forms are determined by the heart".

As the saying goes, if there is no Buddha in your heart, where is the Buddha?

There is Buddha in my heart, but where is Buddha?

A Zen seal, when you encounter it, it is the beginning of elegance and leisure.

The seal body is a regular square with no decorative patterns, which means "no decoration", to show the fine quality of the jade, and also to convey the idea of ​​peace and tranquility.

The jade is condensed and delicate, with rich and even color, extreme and deep blue-green, elegant and tranquil, steady and restrained, like a blue ghost, beautiful and full of imagination.

The Zen Buddha is seated cross-legged with his right hand placed outward in front of his knees and his left hand in the mudra. The jade carver in Shishe did not carve the mouth, but only the eyes. It seems that the carving is exposed, but in fact it was done intentionally by the artist.
