ki-in
Ki-in, is a “spiritual rhythm,” or “the rhythm of ki.” It describes a sensitivity to, and harmony with, ki on all levels. When the artist senses and unites with the rhythm of the ki of nature, he displays the essence of the universe in art. If he sustains an even, rhythmic flow of ki and attention in his craft, then unity of mind and body results and so does art. The art work displays a life-affirming rhythm and movement that reverberates ki-in centuries after its creation.
