Ensō (円相) is a Japanese word meaning "circle". It symbolizes the Absolute, enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void. Zen Buddhists believe that only a person who is mentally and spiritually complete can draw a true ensō. As an "expression of the moment" it is considered a form of minimalist expressionist art.
