Unlike cold minimalism, Kanketsu creates space for important things to shine. That is the feeling of hearing a concise but punctual sentence, or when stepping into a space that makes the mind peaceful not because it is empty, but because everything is enough, according to indianexpress.
The spirit of Kanketsu appears everywhere in Japanese culture: from Haiku poems, keyboards, to the Japanese way of saying short but meaningful thanks. It promotes restraint, respect for others' time and space, and believes that sometimes " saying enough" is just enough.
In the modern world, we are often caught up in the pressure of doing more, talking more and sharing more. But Kanketsu encourages us to take a step back to ask ourselves: what is really important? Do you need more words, more objects, more information, or just let things go naturally?
Practicing Kanketsu does not require drastic changes, you can start from the following:
- Reduce words but stay sincere when communicating.
- Eliminate both material and spiritual chaos.
- Search for quiet moments to give your mind a break.
- Focus completely on one task at a time.
By applying Kanketsu, we not only live more comfortably but also connect more deeply with ourselves and those around us. In a noisy and hasty world, that is the precious gift that Kanketsu brings.
