Japanese Zen Home Gym Ideas

A Japanese-style home gym with a raised tatami platform framed in cedar, underlit with warm LEDs, and enclosed by translucent shoji doors. An oval brass-toned mirror hangs on the wall and two wooden Indian clubs lean in the corner. Beside the platform is a dry garden of raked sand, river stones, and moss with burlap sacks. A small cedar chest and a dark glazed vase holding an ikebana arrangement sit on the mat at dusk. Tatami Zen Gym with Shoji and Dry Garden
