Calligraphy by Ryokan Taigu refers to the body of calligraphic work produced by the esteemed Japanese Zen Buddhist monk Ryokan Taigu (1758–1831). Known for his poetry, simplicity of lifestyle, and calligraphy, Ryokan is a celebrated figure in Japanese cultural history. His calligraphy is characterized by its free and uninhibited style, which reflects his Zen practice and his personal philosophy of humility and simplicity.

Ryokan's calligraphy often features poems composed in the waka or haiku form, written in a flowing, expressive script that is at once both playful and profound. His works are highly valued for their artistic merit as well as their embodiment of Zen principles. Ryokan's calligraphy is not only appreciated for its aesthetic qualities but also for its ability to convey deep spiritual insights and the essence of Zen Buddhism.

The monk's approach to calligraphy was unconventional for his time, as he often broke away from the rigid structures of traditional calligraphy to express a more spontaneous and individualistic style. This has led to Ryokan's calligraphy being considered a precursor to modern calligraphic expressions in Japanese art.

Ryokan's calligraphic works are preserved in various collections, both in Japan and internationally, and they continue to be the subject of study and admiration. His legacy in the art of calligraphy is marked by the emotional depth and genuine human sentiment that his works evoke, making them timeless pieces that resonate with audiences across generations.
