この俳画は、柔らかな筆致で描かれた観音菩薩が印象的です。目を閉じ、穏やかな表情で佇む姿は、内面の深い慈悲と静謐を物語っています。頭上には小さな仏面が並び、千手観音の化身的な側面を想起させる構図であり、すべての衆生を救わんとする心を象徴しています。右に書かれた「念々観心」という言葉は、常に観音の心を念じることの大切さを説くもので、この絵の主題と見事に調和しています。墨と淡い彩色のバランスも美しく、見る者の心をそっと癒やす一幅です。
This haiga features an impressive depiction of Kannon Bosatsu, depicted with soft brushstrokes. The figure stands with eyes closed and a serene expression on his face, which speaks of his deep inner compassion and tranquility. Above his head is a row of small Buddhist masks, a composition that evokes the incarnational aspect of the thousand-armed Avalokitesvara, symbolizing his heart for the salvation of all sentient beings. The words “Nen-en-kan-shin” written on the right, which explain the importance of always remembering the mind of Avalokitesvara, are in perfect harmony with the subject of this painting. The balance of the sumi ink and light colors is beautiful, and the painting gently soothes the viewer’s heart.
