"All Things Change" Japanese Cat in Kimono Art Notitieboek

A cat in a floral kimono gazes into the void, accompanied by the opening lines of The Tale of Heike: "祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きあり" (Gion shōja no kane no koe, shogyō mujō no hibiki ari) — "The sound of the Gion temple bell echoes the impermanence of all things." Below, the Greek phrase "Panta rhei" ("all things flow") mirrors this timeless wisdom. Rendered in watercolor and calligraphy, this design bridges Eastern and Western philosophy.
