10 Bulls of Kakaun
The 10 Bulls were written in the Twelfth Century by the Chinese Master Kakaun.
The illustrations presented here are by noted woodblock artist Tomikichiro Tokuriki.
Transcribed by Nyogen Senzaki and Paul Reps. Taken from Zen Flesh, Zen Bones. Published
by Anchor Books. I have presented here only the woodcuts and the original verse. I have not
included the commentary. I believe the woodcuts and verse speak for themselves.
