As an "expression of the moment" it is often considered a form of minimalist expressionist art. It symbolizes absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and the void it can also symbolize the Japanese aesthetic itself. Ensō is one of the most common subjects of Japanese calligraphy even though it is a symbol and not a character. Ensō ( 円 相) is a Japanese word meaning " circle" and a concept strongly associated with Zen.
