The enso is one of the clearest ways to illustrate the love for simplicity and the imperfect that this culture has. The circle is drawn as it would be done when making calligraphy: with ink, brush and traditional paper and in a single stroke, that is, with a single stroke. Drawing the enso is something very common to indicate that the body is free from the mind to create and to show how the artist was at that moment. In fact, there are those who do it even once a day.
The meaning of this seemingly easy piece is profound. The circle, drawn by hand, will never be perfect (beauty, according to the Japanese, can also be found in imperfection). If it is open, it will give space to the better. On the other hand, if it is closed, it gives an idea of completion.
How to take advantage of it as a tattoo?
Japanese circle tattoos lose a bit of the idea behind the enso, that of making the circle with a single stroke. Nevertheless, they are a great option to symbolize harmony and spiritual growth.
Simple designs, which follow the trend of the Japanese style, are especially good- No overloaded or oversized designs. An enso calls for calm, calm and elegance, thus asking for discreet designs that imitate the freehand freehand stroke of a calligraphy master.
