The Way of Karate - Wisdom of Gichin Funakoshi Wandteppich Mit Holzrahmen

A tranquil sumi-e inspired artwork that reflects the inner path of Karate. A martial artist kneels in quiet meditation beneath a blooming cherry tree, symbolizing harmony between strength and humility. The timeless words of Gichin Funakoshi — “The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.” - are presented in both English and Japanese Kanji, uniting philosophy and form. The red blossoms represent fleeting perfection, the mountain and cliff the challenges of the path, and the still figure the calm spirit found through discipline. A graceful piece for dojo walls, meditation spaces, or homes that honor the balance between power and peace.
