Koan Makes Wearable Artwork while Working on Good Cause
2009-01-29 19:08:00 Koan is a new street-wear label with goal is to produce wearable artwork. Koan's T-shirts were designed such they won't not only has a strong visual impact, but a positive impact on the local community as well. Koan Clothing promises to also include collaborations with some of the talented artists in order to create unique limited edition designs, each t-shirt being the visual manifestations of their own self-made koans. Koan told me to keep with their philosophy and donate a portion of their profits to local San Francisco non-profit organizations. This year, for example, Koan gives to Youth Uprising in Oakland, CA. Youth Uprising is housed in a 25,000 sq. ft. state of the art building which offers programs and services that develop youth leadership in order to transform the community. Way to go Koan!

Next to the temple there was another, smaller temple where there lived a very old Zen master. One day, when the priest was expecting some special guests, he took extra care in tending to the garden. He pulled the weeds, trimmed the shrubs, combed the moss, and spent a long time meticulously raking up and carefully arranging all the dry autumn leaves. As he worked, the old master watched him with interest from across the wall that separated the temples. When he had finished, the priest stood back to admire his work. "Isn't it beautiful," he called out to the old master. "Yes," replied the old man, "but there is something missing. Help me over this wall and I'll put it right for you."
