Description

Ma appeals to readers drawn to Japanese design, architecture and the practice of slowing down, gathering eighteen essays on ma, the concept of space, pause and silence found in Noh theatre, shakuhachi flute music and Zen garden design.

Contributors including Pico Iyer, Miya Ando and Robert van Koesveld explore how that same pause shapes everyday conversation, sculpture and photographic composition.
