Did you know?
- In Japanese, the concept of 'among' is often much more focused on the 'boundary' or 'threshold' between things. The character 間 actually depicts a sun and a moon inside a gate, suggesting a space defined by the movement of time and light.
- The concept of 間 (ma) is so central to Japanese culture that it describes the essential silence in a conversation or the void in a painting, rather than just a gap.
- In Japanese theater and dance, 間 (ma) is a technical term for the precise pause between movements. Mastering the 'among' or the 'gap' is considered as important as the action itself.
