    January'17 Bokksu Cover

    Maru means “circle” in Japanese and is associated with goodness in Japan. Correct answers on tests are marked with a maru (⭕️) while incorrect answers are marked with a batsu (❌). Maru is also the basis for Enso, the traditional Zen Buddhist art on the cover that symbolizes enlightenment, strength, and elegance. Enso can be drawn open or closed and convey different meanings based on its form. Incomplete Enso are associated with wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection) while complete Enso represent perfection. This month, we’ve curated a delicious assortment of maru snacks to help you find enlightenment and beauty in the new year.
