The red flame introduces a single warm accent against the otherwise monochrome design, giving the work a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. The inscription reads:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In this fleeting, rootless world, live with grace, balance, and flexibility.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phrase is poetic and somewhat playful. 根無草 (nenashigusa, “rootless grass”) suggests something without fixed roots—drifting, transient, and impermanent. 浮世 (ukiyo) refers to the “floating world,” a traditional expression for the fleeting and unstable nature of human life. The final phrase 圓く生き (maruku iki) literally suggests “to live roundly,” meaning to live smoothly, harmoniously, flexibly, and without unnecessary conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a clever connection with Enshō’s own name, since 圓 appears both in the expression and in 圓生. This gives the inscription the feel of a personal motto: to observe and speak about the impermanence of the world, while moving through life with composure, humor, and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sixth-generation San’yūtei Enshō was one of the great masters of rakugo, Japan’s traditional art of comic and narrative storytelling. Renowned for his extraordinary repertoire, refined delivery, and ability to portray many different characters through voice and gesture alone, he became one of the defining rakugo performers of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 24 x 27cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58478926201163,"sku":"SHP379","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_f640c4a5-3b3c-4ef8-bed2-8ef6ab34ca3d.jpg?v=1789479417","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/shp379-shikishi-prit-of-san-yutei-ensho-%e4%b8%89%e9%81%8a%e4%ba%ad%e5%9c%93%e7%94%9f","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
