A Japanese shikishi print featuring a bold philosophical inscription in black calligraphy, signed Kandō 幹堂識.
The central text reads: “Follow the laws of Heaven and Earth, set aside the self, and when countless people become united in one heart, great things can be accomplished.”
This phrase expresses a strong ideal of selflessness, harmony, and collective purpose.
天地之法則 refers to the natural order or principles of Heaven and Earth. 沒却自我 means to put aside or transcend the ego. 億兆一心 conveys the idea of countless people becoming united in a single purpose or spirit. 大事成就 means the successful accomplishment of a great undertaking.
Together, the inscription teaches that great achievements become possible when individual ego is set aside and people act in harmony with a shared purpose.
