Description:
Superb travel poster depicting Komusō monks wearing traditional a straw basket (a sedge or reed hood known as a tengai) worn on the head, manifesting the absence of specific ego but also useful for traveling incognito. They are shown playing the shakuhachi (a type of bamboo flute) in return for alms, as a method of attaining enlightenment, and as a healing modality.
