YU-GYO ~ Around the world
...Buddhist Zen monks practice a form of asceticism known as yugyo.
It is a traveling practice in which monks do not stay in a certain temple but itinerate through various countries in order to seek Buddhist teachers and friends and for the purpose of teaching.
The project "YU-GYO ~ Around the world ~" is about wandering the world backpacker style, just like the Zen monks of the time, and learning from the people they meet.
At the same time, it is also an awareness-raising campaign to promote Suiboku-ga by holding Suiboku-ga workshops and street Suiboku-ga performances in the countries and regions where they stayed.
In other words, this is a reinterpretation and practice of yugyo by ink and wash painters living in the present day.
