Much Ado About 無 (Red) - Flexfit Cap

The great Zen masters of the Edo period didn't say no to a little laugh while on their path to enlightenment. Why should you?

The design

The sentence "much ado about mu" is a combination of William Shapespeare's famous comedy "Much Ado About Nothing", written in 1598/99, and the character 無 (mu).

Mu plays an important role in Japanese Zen. It could be translated into "nothingness" or "non-being" but its implications are deeper and easier to experience than to understand. Mu can refer to the letting-go of the ego, often expressing the very rejection of duality itself, which is a tricky thing to attempt using human language. In other words, it is a Zen concept that many Zen enthusiasts are busy trying to grasp only to disover that there was never anything to grasp in the first place.

The design is embroidered on our sturdy FlexFit cap with pleasing detail. The mu character, set in deep red, is contrasting nicely with the white text.
