Shingyō Kōsei (心行 光生) 🧘🏻⛩️🪷

The room is coming together in quiet harmony.
It’s a soft blend of a 書斎 (shosai) — a space for thought, a 瞑想室 (meisōshitsu) — a space for stillnesa and meditation, and a 神仏の間 (Shinbutsu no Ma) — a space for reverence.

A few Chinese touches rest gently alongside Japanese forms.

I simply call it my Zen Den—a place to sit, to study, to reflect, and to simply be.

A tranquil writing nook lit by a soft white desk lamp. A wooden desk holds two ink bottles, a fountain pen, and a leather-bound journal with a bookmark. Cherry blossom branches and pine lean against the wall, with two bamboo scrolls hanging above. A tapestry of a Japanese shrine with a torii gate and stone lantern covers the back wall, enhancing the peaceful, meditative atmosphere.
A cozy, dimly lit room corner featuring a galaxy-patterned ceiling. A white-framed window reflects soft indoor lighting, while the surrounding walls are adorned with Japanese scroll art, framed prints, and hanging fabric art. A small Buddha statue sits on the window ledge next to a delicate cherry blossom branch in a dish. A kamidana (Shinto altar) rests on a shelf flanked by two artificial plants. Nearby shelves display books on Zen Buddhism, The Book of Five Rings, and The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
A wide view of the same writing corner, showing more detail. The desk features traditional Japanese decor including a small painted screen, figurines, and floral vases. The backdrop is a vivid tapestry of a Shinto shrine with orange torii gates. Additional wall scrolls and hanging bamboo art flank the workspace. Bookshelves and a white Buddha statue are partially visible to the right.
A bookshelf area with Zen and Japanese aesthetics. At the top, a large ceramic Buddha head is centered between spiritual books like "Tales from Japan" and "The Tibetan Book of the Dead." Below, a second white Buddha figure sits on a stack of books on gardening, spirituality, and history. Hanging scrolls, floral wall art, and a space-themed ceiling mural complete the serene and thoughtfully arranged setting.
