More specifically, may refer to work by Japanese Zen priests from the Edo period (1600-1868). The content of the work is focused on teachings of the Dharma. Aesthetically this style is known to be bold, spontaneous and even amateurish in execution and light-hearted in tone. The term literally means "Zen painting." For the practice of painting as a Zen activity, use "gazen." ]]></note></mads>
