He was a teacher of mine at a Buddhist Monastery. I asked him should I go back and try to correct that what I was working on. He replied, be whole not perfect.

Wow I can’t thank you enough for creating this as well as sharing it. What a beautiful soul. My heart is richer for having seen this.

Thank you for creating this insightful film! Just hung up a piece of his art on my wall. Beautiful and meaningful. The film is a wonderful addition and brings even more out of the art knowing it's such a lovely guy who made it!

A moving portrait of a man with so much passion for his life and his works of art. I am so inspired and will watch this many times and learn. Thank you for sharing!

When she asks what is the greatest gift you believe youre art will give the world??? ...my soul ignited when when he anwsered..many thanks for sharing this

I was looking for this for the past 10 years!! Thank you so much for introducing me to Kazuaki san!

Thanks very much for sharing your experience with Kaz with all of us. I enjoyed your video very much!

What a wonderfull attitude : “ every failure is just more reason for success” for me that seems to be a truly honoring of the dance of the living now - and beautifull demonstdTion of the red circle and the title “ miracles of each moment

Moving video, where slowness enters the soul of an essential and original artist and a profound and deeply transcendental human being. And…a friend who changed my life. Luk Darras

Synchronicitous for me to encounter this when I did. The miracle of the moment indeed!

I'm a miniaturist painter, and to see that Yatsumo brush left me in awe. I can't even imagine painting with something like that. Also wondering if something is wrong with me because seeing areas where the brush was dry and the paint did not go on the surface made my skin crawl like fingernails on a chalkboard. I have problems. Lol. Truly enjoyed watching this master create.

Delighted to learn of Kaz and Peter Levitt's connection with my teacher, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. "Present Moment, Wonderful moment. "

Thank you so much for this wonderful video ! I knew him by his painting and philosophy but had never seen this amazing video that I will share with my friends and will watch and re-watch again. This morning it was a most precious gift for me. Merci, merci mille fois. Sending Peace and Love from Montreal, Canada 🙏❤️

I don't profess to understand his art but his parting words... So true! Thank you so much for sharing such an interesting video.

A wonderful protagonist, portrayed very well! Thank you. This goes on my re-watch list.

Thank you for making this film..very inspiring..love the name Brushmind!..nothing perhaps is more true than the words he speaks towards the end of the film.

Thank you for this. It was beautiful.

Thank you for this beautiful and precious film ~;~

Ahhh!!! Some years ago I learned to play the lute (very, very imperfectly), and that was my favourite piece. I couldn't play it, but at every lesson I asked my lutemaster to play it for me.

Tanahashi-san's work is so beautiful! Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful documentary.

Well done, what fine job you did making this. It was a very interesting and relaxing video with a lot of atmosphere, not only due to the content, but also because of the way you chose to film it. It was good to have some quiet pauses in the video, which you obviously chose not to fill with anything either irelevant or inappropriate. Thanks from Japan.

Thanks to the author for this film. That's amazing.

Beautiful video. I actually really needed this energy right now. Thanks to everyone on, and behind the camera :)

Thank you for sharing this video about the beautiful art of Kazuaki Tanahasi.

I watched a video of Kaz Tanahashi. I was impressed. Thank you for seeing

Inspired in this video tonight i draw lines and zigzgas with pencil and colours. I tryed to feel motivated and colaborate to the art in some kind of creativity.

Greetings to all here, could some one please help me to identify the Brush Kazuaki Tanahashi said about (7:25) It's a brush with 3 types of hair, Hard in the middle (Pig), next layer is medium (Badger) and on top is Sheep. Could you please share a link or picture for an actual product, would love to buy those and try out! Thanks!

Quelqu'un qui ne connaît pas les idéogrammes chinois manque les trois quarts de l'émotion. Mais il y a quand même de l'émotion devant cette danse du pinceau....

My beloved animal friends seemed to understand my great needs~as I created my own brushes.

I did a workshop with Kaz, a wonderful individual.

brescius - is this Francesco da Milano or Spinacino - or Dalza? I know it, I recognise it, but I can't remember. Thankyou.

Thank you so much. In gassho and peace 🙏🏻🙇‍♂️

Would anyone have any information on the back black painting at 4:21 ?

I want to be his best friend and I would love to own one of his artworks. Maybe he’ll do a trade? 😉😂😂 I loved this and was legitimately sad that it ended.

谢谢🙏

Anyone knows where one can buy those big brushes? I can't find them at art stores.

as long as it is a labor of love then do not complain or do not do

Does anyone know what character he painted on 24:26? I'd appreciate it.

nice work

mhhh, I'm going to do this with a mop, brilliant

I wish I could get a cliffnotes version of this. With the 5 - 10 minutes of actually interesting content. Thanks though.

he draws the ouroboros the circle of life

A moment is, as arrived,- time to take a nap.

How do I know if i have an original Kaz Tanahashi or print?

What kind of paint does he use ?

I want to see his cleaning process!!

what kind of paint are you / is he using ???

It's very unpleasant to hear the camera persons breathing... Interesting documentary though.

They walk amongst us.
