Seeing Zen includes heretofore unpublished art work by every major Zen artist - Ikkyu, Fugai, Takuan, Mokuan, Jozan, Hakuin, Sengai, Jiun, Gocho, Suio, Torei, Rengetsu, Tesshu, Nantenbo, and others. An extensive section on Artists' Biographies is appended. Published to coincide with a major exhibition of Felix Hess' Kaeru-an Collection at the Czech National Museum in Prague in Autumn 2020. Also, in 2020 John Stevens will be the curator of the Otagaki Rengetsu exhibition at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. He will promote Seeing Zen in lectures and book signings.
