Podcast Cover: image taken from a work by Yun Hyong-keun The Aesthetics of "Ma" in Korean Art and Culture. The concept of "Ma" (마) is a central aspect of Korean aesthetics and philosophy. Originating from the idea of emptiness or space, "Ma" permeates various forms of art in Korea, including music, painting, poetry, and dance. The philosophical foundation of "Ma". The philosophy of "Ma" is deeply rooted in Korean culture, drawing from Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist thought. At its core, "Ma" represents the idea that emptiness is not an absence or lack of something, but rather a presence that can be utilized to create emotional tension, balance, and harmony. This concept is closely related to the Korean belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the importance of finding equilibrium in life. - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (Paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here is my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here is my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/rpcd5c - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here is my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here is my journal dedicated to the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri tinyurl.com/42rt7jjh. - E-book and Video on www.lofimusic.it. - Here is my fashion brand dedicated to Spirituality, https://www.redbubble.com/people/Mantra-tshirt/shop
