Japanese culture is famous for its traditional arts, which are often viewed as paths (Do) to self-improvement and mindfulness.

Ikebana (The Way of Flowers)
Flower arranging in Japan is a disciplined art form. Unlike Western arrangements which focus on abundance and color, Ikebana emphasizes line, shape, and negative space. It represents the harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity.
