Masaki Wakabayashi｜Xieyi Artist · Tao Code Creator
I am a Japanese artist exploring the intersection of Tao philosophy, Xieyi painting, and contemporary spiritual art.
My work is based on the ancient concept of the “Three Powers”—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—and the Tao Codes found in the classical Chinese text *The Rootless Tree* (Wugen Shu).

Each piece begins with hand-drawn talismanic symbols (Fu), expressing the power of Heaven.
These strokes are then transformed digitally through layered Feng Shui–inspired energy compositions, representing the power of Earth.
Finally, the completed artwork is printed on high-quality canvas as the manifestation of Humanity—the harmonized union of Heaven and Earth.

My paintings are not mere visual images; they function as energetic compositions that influence space, mood, and inner stillness.
They embody rhythm, breath, qi-flow, and silence—inviting viewers into a meditative and symbolic dimension.

Trained in Xieyi (free-hand ink) techniques and Taoist philosophy through independent study and traditional sources.
Years of research in the symbolism of talismans (Fu), internal Taoist arts, and the text *The Rootless Tree*.
Background in traditional brushwork, digital layering techniques, and energy-based composition methods.
