Anchors of Time and Beauty
Step into our exhibition and discover the 27 ‘za kekkai’ stones by Buddhist Zen monk Tosei Shinabe. In the quietness of the dawn at Kyoto’s oldest Zen temple, Tosei Shinabe sits in deep meditation, practising and teaching ‘zazen’, a seated Buddhist meditation.
His journey regularly takes him to Awaji Island, where he carefully selects stones infused with the earth’s raw beauty. Tied with Seima rope made from the finest and rarest Japanese hemp, used in Shinto rituals at the Ise Shrine, each stone stands as a testament to nature, is filled with prayers, and promises to bring serenity to your home. In our two-week exhibition, we present 27 unique pieces exclusively reserved for purchase at our Zurich store. Discover the subtle nuances of nature’s creations and find the stone that resonates with you.
