Ensō Zen Circle - T-Shirt

Elevate your everyday style with a timeless Zen statement. This Japan-inspired tee showcases an authentic ensō (Zen circle) that radiates calm focus and balance. Minimalist yet powerful, it’s the perfect piece for lovers of Japanese calligraphy and Zen meditation alike.

The design

Our shirt features a bold, single-stroke ensō rendered with visible brush energy and intentional imperfection – a hallmark of Zen aesthetics.

The artist

This design is based on a beautiful ensō by Tengan Sogyo (1667-1731), a monk of the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism. Working in the Edo period, Tengan’s calligraphy reflects core Zen values – simplicity, immediacy, and direct expression through the brush. His ensō captures the mindfulness of a single, unbroken movement.
