Art, perfection, and discipline used to be a way of life. In the old Japan everything was art, from serving tea, to loosing an arrow, to drawing a sword, everything was taken to it's most perfect level and in that, art was found.

To suggest that the inventors of traditional display and Tokonomas did not think of art is slightly off the mark, to say the least.

"If want to hit the target, aim at your heart, aim for perfection. Find the art and the arrows will find the target."
