Book Divine Gardens by Mayumi Oda

Divine Gardens
By Mayumi Oda & The San Francisco Zen Center

A vibrant celebration of feminine energy, Zen practice, and sacred creativity, Divine Gardens pairs Mayumi Oda’s luminous artwork with reflections from her community at the San Francisco Zen Center.

Known as the "Matisse of Japan," Mayumi reimagines traditional Buddhist and Japanese iconography through a bold, feminine lens—bringing to life radiant Goddesses and lush natural scenes filled with movement, joy, and spiritual resonance.

Rooted in her decades of practice at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, which she lovingly calls her California Buddha Field, this collection features 45 full-color works and 24 heartfelt essays from fellow practitioners whose lives have been touched by her art.

Divine Gardens captures the essence of Mayumi’s creative and spiritual journey—an offering of beauty, wisdom, and interconnectedness.
