Reading
Grasses, trees, and the land itself are counted in.
The nature said to wake is not reserved for what feels and chooses.
What is looked at is held to carry the same nature as the one who looks.
Here nothing is left outside.
Origin
The opening of "sōmoku kokudo shikkai jōbutsu" — grasses, trees, and the land all attain Buddhahood. It rests on the Nirvana Sutra's teaching that all beings hold the Buddha-nature, but does not appear verbatim in any extant sutra; it took shape in Tendai thought and was first set down by the Heian monk Annen, later recurring in Noh libretti.
Seal
Cut by hand in Tokyo by the artist. The angle of the blade and the depth of the stroke decide where the ink bleeds and where it holds. No imprint repeats.
