Re: /0/ - Minimalism General
This is the famous washbasin of the Ryouan-ji, a famous Rinzai Zen temple.

It says 吾唯足知. Which means
吾: I
唯: Only
足: Enoughness
知: Know
And the 口 at the center means a mouth. Imagine the water flows into the mouth.
Also the washbasin itself looks similar to the Chinese coins.
