Ensō — the Zen circle

A hand-drawn circle made in a single, unbroken brushstroke, the ensō embodies the Zen paradox of perfection through imperfection—it is complete precisely because it cannot be perfect. Practitioners use it as both meditation and artistic practice, where the quality of presence during the stroke matters infinitely more than geometric precision.
