Reading
The Womb is principle — the holding that opens and receives.
The Diamond is wisdom — the cutting that does not waver.
Compassion and clear seeing, the sheltering and the unbreakable.
Not two things set side by side, but one regarded from both faces.
Origin
A pairing of the two realms of Esoteric (Shingon) Buddhism: the Womb Realm (Taizōkai), drawn from the Mahāvairocana Sutra (大日経), and the Diamond Realm (Kongōkai), drawn from the Vajraśekhara Sutra (金剛頂経). The Hizōki glosses them as "the Womb is principle; the Diamond is wisdom," held as non-dual (金胎不二). Not a Zen kōan but an Esoteric doctrinal pairing.
Seal
The original seal is hand-carved in Tokyo by the artist Satake Hōsen. Its impression is reproduced as a print on the garment.
