Concept of “Ma” is at the heart of Japanese minimalism.

Ma (pronounced "maah"),
. . . is a celebration of not things,
. . . but the space between them.
. . . It is about negative space, voids, emptiness.
. . . And it is relished in everything from:
. . . . . . interiors,
. . . . . . architecture,
. . . . . . garden design,
. . . . . . music,
. . . . . . flower arrangement,
. . . . . . poetry and
. . . . . . can be found in most aspects of Japanese life.

In a home,
. . . where there are too many things, nothing is highlighted.
But by focusing on, and expanding the space in which there is nothing,
. . . the things that are there spring into life.
