KANNON T-shirt

Wind and the Moon
This is a design of ‘KANNON’ Bodhisattva, a Buddhist deity of mercy. The poem says that a fresh wind and the clear moon purify each other. The Sanskrit character on the center of the back represents ‘KANNON’ Bodhisattva. It is a calm and fresh design with a blurring effect by overprinting similar colors.

This Kannon is called “Nyoirin-Kannon”. “Nyoi” refers to the wish-fulfilling jewel, a precious gem that grants wisdom, wealth, and good fortune at will, and “Rin” refers to the Dharma wheel that crushes worldly desires. Holding both of these symbols, Nyoirin-Kannon is a Bodhisattva who fulfills all wishes and delivers beings from suffering. The figure’s contemplative posture – with one knee raised, an elbow resting upon it, and fingertips touching the cheek – is said to represent deep reflection on how best to save humanity. A distinctive characteristic of Nyoirin-Kannon is the seated pose known as “Rin-o-za”, in which the soles of the feet are pressed together.

Nyoirin-Kannon is counted among the Six Kannon – deities who each preside over one of the six realms of existence in Buddhist cosmology. These six realms, into which we may be reborn, are the Realm of Deities, the Realm of Humans, the Realm of Asuras (a place of ceaseless conflict and rage), the Realm of Animals, the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, and the Realm of Hell. Nyoirin-Kannon is said to reside in the Realm of Deities.
