THE PICTURES

The pictures were brushed for this book by Jacques Allais in what is called the Suiboku style, in which he is an expert. His work has been praised by the doyen of Japanese Suiboku painters, Nanpu Katayama, who received the Order of Culture (corresponding to the British Order of Merit) for his services to art.

Suiboku is eighty per cent suggestion – a Suiboku artist would not show both ends of a bridge, only one. The style gives a hint for the focusing of meditation practice.

I am grateful to Jacques Allais for his generosity in offering these pictures for the book.
