In this video, we'll be exploring the Japanese concept of Ma and its relevance in our daily conversations. Ma is a term used to describe the interval or space between two objects or moments. It's often translated as "negative space" or "gap," and it's a crucial aspect of Japanese aesthetics and culture.

Thanks Azumi, having lived in Japan for many years, your explaiinatiom of 'MA' and its implications om the gap and silence in communication makes more sense to understand the philosophy of my Japanese friends and colleagues. I like your insightful short videos.

Hi Azumi thanks for your very very insightful videos. . . i see the awareness of Ma in daily life as a kind of acknowledgement of the infinite. A moment of stillness or silent awareness in which we can momentarily take refuge in today's noisy world.

That makes sense that magic has ma in it knowing that it is that space between the 3rd dimension and the 4th dimension where you manifest what you have practiced said magic to do. Makes sense how ma is also in majestic and ma-ther. Thank you for this between lesson as always.

I always love watching your videos. This reminded me to pay more attention to see the moments I need to pause, especially when I’m feeling angry. Or even when I’m feeling happy so that I have that moment to notice the happiness.

Thank you, Azumi. I enjoy making music and photography and I believe that the concept of space in beteen or "ma" is a really powerful means of emphasizing the message we want to convey. A little pause or space between the elements can make these elements "breathe" and makes them more powerful. It would be nice if you could develop this concept in other forms os art as well. In regard to speech, I will pay attention to the importance of "ma" for better communication. Cheers!

Ooo, Akuma is a yokai. But a very infamous one who can spread illness and hysteria to any man in the mortal realm. They are said by some accounts to be a fire spirit with a helmet made of pure fire. They also happen to carry a sharp and powerful sword. Whatever you may believe about them, they are always beings of pure evil and despair.
