WHAT IS "MA"
The Japanese concept of “MA” represents a profound cultural appreciation for the beauty and meaning found in negative space, intervals, and purposeful pauses. Essentially it is “Meaningful Emptiness” which emphasises the harmony and balance between objects and the space around them. In Architecture, Art & Design, the empty areas are just as important as the physical elements themselves. Join one of our upcoming Japan Tour focusing on Art, Architecture, Design & Japanese Culture to learn more about the Japanese concept of “MA”. Find out more.
