This simple circle is called as "円相 Enso",meaning "circle." In Zen Buddhism, it's a hand-drawn circle that is often used as a symbol of enlightenment, emptiness, and the present moment. It's a powerful visual representation of Zen philosophy and aesthetics. This minimalist design, typically consisting of a single, unbroken brushstroke is often drawn quickly and intuitively, reflecting the state of mind of the artist. This can represent emptiness, but not void rather than space of infinite potential. The Enso can also symbolize enlightenment, the ultimate goal of Zen practice. It represents the interconnectedness of all things and the realization of one's true nature.

The act of drawing the Enso is a meditative practice that brings him /her into the present moment. It's a reminder to be mindful and fully present in each moment of our lives. This was drawn by "福本積應 Fukumoto Sekiou" , a zen monk, Daitokuji sect, born in 1930.
