I've studied the I Ching for many years and only came upon a really old version of this wheel a year ago. As I studied it I found other resonances and wanted to make an updated version that respects what the past Sages imparted, while adding a bit more to it.

The wheel shows the moon phases and the seasons and how they correlate with the I Ching. The center begins with the yin and yang, outward are then the bi-grams and then the Four Principles for Experiencing Mind and Body Unification and how these can correlate with the trigrams. Then the moon phases, the year in months indicating the changing of light and dak, and finally the 64 hexagrams of the ancient I Ching. The particular hexagram titles have been taken from David Hinton's book, I Ching, The Book of Changes, 2015.

The artwork is printed in a square format. Set up to be printed at 24" wide x 24" long, on matte paper. If you wish to customize the size or paper, that is available as an option when you order.

You can view a larger version to read the text using the link just below.  The gray printing is subtle, yet completely readable. Thus it does not disturb the overall look of the scroll.

Nen is a wonderful Japanese character. Usually translated as willpower, it is a combination of ima, "now" at the top and kokoro, "heart-mind" underneath. In aikido this is the state of being right in the present moment, with an open heart. Exactly what one trains for. Great way to welcome randori attacks. An important way to remind everyone practicing that the essential quality for good aikido is not other than Nen.
