Sengai Gibon, the 123rd head priest of Shofukuji, Japan’s first Zen temple, was an Edo-period Zen monk known for his unique interactions with the people of Hakata. Even today, he is fondly remembered as “Sengai-san of Hakata.” This exhibition features around 40 pieces from the Fukuoka Art Museum’s collection of over 200 works, including paintings that clearly convey Zen teachings and artworks with written expressions.
