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 Japanese pronounciation of 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.

Why you'll love it

  • Follow the tradition of Zen masters and have a little fun. 
  • Immediately creates connection with other meditation or Zen enthusiasts.
  • Simplistic design that goes well with almost every wardrobe.
  • Great gift for fellow meditators.

How to care

In Japanese tradition, from the tea ceremony to martial arts, there exists a profound respect for the objects we carry and use. If you would like to provide good care for your new shirt, we suggest the following guidelines:

  • Wash your garments inside-out to protect the print.
  • Wash with similar colors to prevent discoloration.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Avoid the tumble-dryer – let it dry in the air.

Japanese Zen teaches us the impernanence (mujō) of all things. Your new shirt won't last forever. But if you care for it, it will thank you by aging gracefully.
