What does Ikkyu mean?
Amplifying your human experience
Ikkyu was a Zen buddhist and poet from the 13th century who took a stance against monk celibacy and other taboos. He intertwined spirituality and sexuality, and that is something we resonate with. We combined that with the Enso circle, which represents a moment of “pause”. And the kanji Kokoro meaning Emotion, actually connotes inclusively the emotional, spiritual and mental states of all sentient beings.
A judgement-free zone to tap into your own Divinity
