Zanshin - A Remaining Mind

thingiverse

Most of us are familiar with the popular TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. There's a particular episode called "The One With Unagi" where Ross Geller explains to Rachel and Phoebe the concept of remaining mind, but it's not actually called Unagi - that title belongs to Zanshin. Zanshin is a state of awareness, characterized by relaxed alertness, in Japanese martial arts. A literal translation of Zanshin is "remaining mind." In several martial arts disciplines, Zanshin specifically refers to the body's posture after executing a technique. A logo-inspired model representing this concept has been created and can be viewed below. The SVG image was generated from a contribution by Moyashi Arts on Deviant Art. Thank you for your attention!
