Among all the resonances between hypnosis and the Japanese world, the “Ma” (\u9593), or Japanese interval<\/strong>, figures prominently. Present in the arts as well as in everyday life, the “Ma” is first and foremost felt. It’s a pause, a breath, a suspended time rich in creativity. Because of its link with the hypnotic state, I devote an entire chapter to it in my book Hypnosis-Japan, Encounter en resonance<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to better approach and understand what “Ma” is, I drew on a variety of sources, and was particularly interested in Teddy Peix<\/strong> ‘s artistic work and philosophical research on the subject. In November 2025, I was lucky enough to meet him in Japan, in Kawaguchi-ko, near Mount Fuji, and to attend two conferences on this theme, illustrated by numerous photographs. I’m delighted to present these two lectures, preceded by an interview on his career as an artist. Many thanks to Teddy Peix for the clarity and depth of his words! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
