        Yukata: Similar to the kimono, the yukata is a lighter summer garment made from cotton. It is usually worn for summer festivals and public baths.

        Haori and hakama: The haori is a long, loose jacket that is worn over the kimono. The hakama is a loose-fitting trouser that is worn over the kimono or yukata. Both of these garments are usually worn by men during religious or traditional ceremonies.

        Jinbei: Jinbei is a summer garment for men that is similar to a short-sleeved shirt and short trousers. It is often worn for summer festivals.

        Geta and zori: Geta and zori are traditional Japanese shoes that are worn with the kimono or yukata. Geta are wooden-soled sandals with wooden slats connecting them to the sole, while zori are flat sandals made of cloth or leather.

    In general, traditional Japanese clothing is often associated with ceremonies and special occasions and is worn to maintain Japanese cultural traditions and traditional values.

  • Japanese interior and...

    Japanese interiors and decoration are characterised by simplicity, minimalism and respect for nature. Traditional Japanese houses are often built of wood and have thatched roofs, paper walls and wooden floors. Rooms are often separated by sliding walls called shoji, which can be opened to create an open space or closed to create private rooms.

    The colours used in Japanese interiors are often neutral, with shades of beige, brown and grey. Natural materials such as wood, stone and bamboo are often used for furniture and accessories.

    Japanese decoration is also influenced by the seasons and natural elements. Flowers and leaves are often used for decoration, with plants such as bamboo, pine and cherry blossom being particularly popular. Crafts such as pottery, lanterns and straw mats are also used to add texture and warmth to the space.

    Furniture arrangement is also important in Japanese decoration, with furniture often arranged to create an empty space around it, giving a sense of calm and relaxation.

    Finally, the Japanese interior is often characterised by a number of rooms dedicated to specific activities such as meditation, tea ceremony, martial practice or study.

  • Zen Meditation - Learn...

    Die Zen-Meditation (oder Zazen) ist eine meditative Praxis, die ursprünglich aus Japan stammt und ein fester Bestandteil der Tradition des Zen-Buddhismus ist. Sie besteht darin, in Stille zu sitzen und sich auf den Atem oder ein Mantra zu konzentrieren, um den Geist zu beruhigen und einen Zustand des wachen Bewusstseins zu erreichen.

    Die Zen-Meditation wird normalerweise im Sitzen praktiziert, auf einem Kissen namens "Zafu" oder auf einer Bank namens "Zabuton", mit gekreuzten Beinen im Lotus-, Halb-Lotus- oder Schneidersitz, mit gerader Wirbelsäule und den Händen, die auf den Knien ruhen. Eine gute Körperhaltung ist wichtig, um eine flüssige Atmung zu ermöglichen und um nicht einzuschlafen.

    Ziel der Zen-Meditation ist es, den Geist zu beruhigen und einen Zustand des wachen Bewusstseins zu erreichen, der als "Satori" oder "Wachheit" bezeichnet wird. Sie ermöglicht es, sich von störenden Gedanken und Emotionen zu befreien, um einen Zustand des inneren Friedens und der geistigen Klarheit zu erreichen. Die regelmäßige Ausübung der Zen-Meditation kann auch die geistige und körperliche Gesundheit verbessern, Stress abbauen und die allgemeine Lebensqualität steigern.

    Man kann die Zen-Meditation allein zu Hause praktizieren, häufig wird sie aber auch in Gruppen unter der Leitung eines erfahrenen Meditationsmeisters praktiziert. Es gibt viele Zen-Meditationszentren oder "Dojos", in denen man an Kursen und geführten Meditationssitzungen teilnehmen kann.

    Für eine entspannte Zen-Atmosphäre haben wir Meditationsartikel ausgewählt, die Sie zu einer Reise in das Land der aufgehenden Sonne einladen. Hier finden Sie Räucherstäbchen, Kissen, Makura, Dharma-Schalen und andere Gegenstände.
