I have found a small Shodo fragment stating "一味一禪" - which is not the
classical "Zen and Tea are of one taste" (禅茶一味).

What is this supposed to mean? Is it correct Japanese (I suppose it is, coming
from an actual Japanese, but she is not here to explain it at the moment).

question
translation kanji yoji-jukugo
What does "一味一禪" mean?
Certain forms of caligraphy get closer to poetry (like
[漢詩](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BC%A2%E8%A9%A9)), so it could use
phrases and sequences of Kanjis that you won't see anywhere else. As
caligraphy is a form of art, it is more interesting to intentionally deviate a
bit from common words, because it gets the reader thinking.

I'd consider 一味一禪 to be one of those. I can only guess its meaning, but my
guess would be something like "every tea making is an act of zen", or
something close to 禅茶一味. Its use of 異体字 (different more traditional forms of
the same kanji) 禪 not 禅 also adds another angle to the deviation.

Whether one calls it "correct" Japanese or not is red herring, in my opinion.
But you probably don't want to use it in e-mail or other everyday writing.
