Yin-Yan, or yin and yang, is a Chinese philosophical idea that describes two oppositional aspects of a process, phenomena, or object that work together to form a complementary whole.  Though yin and yang are opposing components, they are also inextricably linked.  The concept of “unity in duality” is present in the philosophy of several other cultures, and the Yin-Yan symbol is a widely recognized symbol for balance across the world.

Many tattoo enthusiasts have the Yin-Yan symbol inked into their skin, and the symbol is available on almost any form of merchandise that could have it printed or applied in some fashion.  A home decor accent bearing the Yin-Yan symbol can provide a cleansing breath for any room.

The elephant has been an important symbol for thousands of years, appearing in many cultures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.  Elephants are a symbol of wisdom in Asian cultures and are valued for their memory and superior intelligence.

Elephants are the largest land mammal on Earth and have become a protected species worldwide, having long been threatened by human poaching for their ivory tusks alone. 
Why not bring a bit of the safari home with you with an Elephant Stand?  This magnificent rendition of the beloved animal displays its trunk upraised, itself a symbol of good fortune. This alabaster elephant stand would look great outside or inside, whether supporting a favorite plant or just to admire.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu.

The words ‘feng shui’ literally translate as “wind-water”in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Book of Burial by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

Many modern enthusiasts claim that feng shui is the practice of arranging objects (such as furniture) to help people achieve their goals. More traditionally, feng shui is important in choosing a place to live and finding a burial site, along with agricultural planning.
Proponents claim that feng shui has an effect on health, wealth and personal relationships.

Decorating your home in the Japanese style can add a certain amount of mysticism and serenity that you don’t find in Western culture.  Styles such as Americana and British Colonial are seemingly chaotic and built around accents that seemingly serve little purpose.

Far East decor, however, is based on the notion that the placement of everything has its purpose and brings forth peace and attempts to harness your Qi.  Find some simple Asian pieces, arrange them accordingly and see how you feel about it when you’re done.

What I like most about the scenery screen that I have in my walls is the different accent it creates; making my plain and simple wall in the living room more interesting to look at.

Laughing Buddha Statues are commonly seen in homes, offices, hotels, gardens, restaurants, shops and every which way, but what does it mean?  The Laughing Buddha is a symbol of happiness and prosperity.  He is also believed to be the future Buddha.

In Feng Shui, he is the symbol for wealth. Legend says that rubbing his stomach — which contains wealth, luck, good fortune and joy — will be ours. Laughing Buddha statues are popular as house warming gifts and good luck charms. It is commonly held that statues of the Laughing Buddha must not be placed on the floor; they must be positioned on an elevated surface, as a sign of respect.
