"Six Persimmons" is a renowned ink wash painting by the Chinese Chan Buddhist monk, painter, and calligrapher Muqi Fachang, also known as Mu Qi. Created during the Song Dynasty (960–1279), this artwork is considered one of the most prominent examples of Chinese Zen Buddhist art. The painting depicts six persimmons floating against an empty space, varying in ripeness and rendered with masterful brushwork that reflects the spiritual teachings of Zen Buddhism.

The composition of "Six Persimmons" is both simple and profound, with the fruits arranged in a subtle diagonal line that moves from the lower left to the upper right of the painting. Mu Qi's use of ink ranges from deep and saturated to light and ethereal, demonstrating an exceptional control of the brush and an understanding of the medium's potential. The varying tones and shapes of the persimmons are interpreted as symbols of the Six Paramitas, or the six perfections that are practices leading to enlightenment in Mahayana Buddhism.

Mu Qi's work is celebrated for its spontaneity and the suggestion of deeper philosophical meaning beyond the immediate visual experience. "Six Persimmons" is particularly admired for its embodiment of the Zen principle of direct, intuitive insight into the nature of reality, expressed through the seemingly simple subject matter and the artist's skillful technique.

The original painting is preserved in the Daitoku-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple in Kyoto, Japan, and it has been designated as a National Treasure. "Six Persimmons" has had a significant influence on the development of both Chinese and Japanese painting, and it continues to be studied and revered as a masterpiece of Zen Buddhist art.
