Creative act as meditation.

My way of approaching the craft of making the pieces, I would say is very… it's like a meditation, a walking meditation, a movement.

– Miya Ando

Descendant of famed sword makers of Bizen, Japan, artist Miya Ando was raised among swordsmiths and Buddhist priests in a temple in Okayama, Japan.

This film shows the post minimalist artist working in her studio. As she talks and works, she demonstrates how we can integrate creative and spiritual practice into our life. The act of creating, done mindfully, becomes a meditation.
