Enso, the circle, is a powerful symbol in Japanese calligraphy (shodo), representing the endless cycle of life, the balance of opposites, and enlightenment. Often drawn in a single, fluid brushstroke, the Enso embodies both completeness and emptiness, capturing the harmony between creation and imperfection. In shodo, the simplicity and spontaneity of the Enso reflect the beauty of the present moment, inviting mindfulness and inner peace.
