Assignment of a Kanji character and naming (Zasei Sousetsu) according to a more than 500-year-old tradition of Zen painting by Tenkei Sesshu (2nd generation, heir and successor of the Sesshu ink painting school from the 16th century) and associated recognition as the first Western painter to be able to consciously apply and perfect the true Haboku painting method (sensitivity arising from Zen, to paint intuitively and yet unerringly).
