This book is an artistic approach to the teachings of zen. Tanahashi also includes his own wit and humor which makes this book a thought-provoker and a real feel good too. It brings up many interesting ideas while explaining his own approach to oneness through art. This book includes many short poems, short thoughts and tons of beautiful paintings. These paintings, each named "mind #", coupled with his thoughtful sayings make for a perfect product. This is one book I read over - atleast once a week, its contents bring peace and humor to my life. I highly recommend it.

I agree with the review by pqbdpq. I want to add that the artist that worked on the book paints Zen inspired images in large format with a large cotton mop and a lot of ink. That changed my perspective considering the images in the book are actually much larger in real life.

This book looks deceptively simple--lots of white space, small nuggets strewn here and there, and reproductions of compelling paintings--but it's truly profound if you let it soak in a bit. You'll want to read it over and over. Kaz is the real deal. You won't regret this.
