Makoto Fujimura: “Art cannot be seen fully until our minds, usually filled with fears and anxiety, are given rest. Beauty cannot be embraced until we lay down our swords, just like a samurai entering a teahouse in humility and trust, and entrust ourselves to the slowness of being fully present in a tea ceremony, a liturgy of peace. Art is a liturgy of peace.” in Art Is: A Journey into the Light, p. 94.
