Yohaku (余白) is a Japanese concept referring to the beauty of empty space, where what is left blank in a composition is just as important as the elements that are present. It's a key principle in Japanese aesthetics, used in art, design, and even life, to create a sense of balance, depth, and contemplation by using emptiness to suggest or highlight something.
Meaning and use
In art: The empty space in a painting, calligraphy, or garden is not just a void, but an active part of the design that provides balance and context. For example, blank space in a Chinese or Japanese ink wash painting is used to represent the spirit of the scenery, like sky, mist, or water.
In design: The concept is applied to create calmness and to allow the audience to use their imagination. This can be seen in minimalist architecture, flower arranging (ikebana), and even in the design of everyday products.
In life: Yohaku can be a philosophical approach to living, where deliberately leaving "empty space" in your schedule or life allows for more meaning, reflection, and presence. It encourages a focus on simplicity and what is deliberately left unsaid or unfinished to convey more meaning.
In theatre: The title of a performance can mean "empty space," but in this context, it's about using quiet, simple spaces to spark imagination, rather than using a lot of flashy elements.
