The Zazen Moon Tee invites reflection through its subtle yet powerful design. On the front chest, a tonal image of a praying monk is reflected within the moon, blending seamlessly into the fabric for a subtle, meditative effect. The moon, often a symbol of enlightenment and stillness, serves as a visual reminder of quiet contemplation. On the back, the kanji translates to:
“To what can this world be compared?
The moonlight reflected in water drops
splashed from a waterfowl’s beak.”
This verse, inspired by Zen teachings, evokes the fleeting nature of the world—highlighting the transient beauty of the present moment, much like the reflection of the moon on water. It’s an invitation to embrace mindfulness and the beauty found in stillness.
