EAST-WEST
COLLABORTION
Boku
Arts is under the direction of Mondo Secter, PhD and
Ari Tomita (Shihan). Secter and Tomita bring over thirty
years experience as cultural interpreters, authors,
educators, inventors, artists and students of Zen and
Dao, to advancing
East-West understanding, cooperation and collaboration
through art and culture.
We offer a stunning collection of blank, frameable ‘mini

shihan (modern master brush artist) are available in
signed limited edition prints for corporate and private
collections.
For businesses we have printed cards
for companies that
promote your company character and culture. We also provide
team building workshops and corporate
culture consulting for improving collaboration between cultural groups and
types.
FRAMEABLE FINE ART CARDS
Our frameable ‘mini
print’ fine art
cards are ideal for Seasons Greetings, New Years,
and Special Occassions, such as weddings, anniversaries
and thank
you’s.
They can be enclosed with a gift, or given ‘as
a gift’, framed or in packs of
five. Packs are perfect for convention and trade show gifts, premiums,
and Gift Baskets.
WORKSHOPS and CONSULTING
Our boutique consulting firm can help you clarify your
corporate culture and transform it into an asset
that will create more effective cooperation within
your
company and more successful collaboration with other
companies. We have also developed an innovative haiku
brush art team-building
workshop that
will improve group effectiveness and cohesion.
BRIDGING EAST AND WEST
Our
cards and consulting integrate the universal principles
of Dao and self-empowerment
of Zen. They draw from long interest in: Zen aesthetics,
including haiku poetry and wabi-sabi (as in wabi-cha
or tea ceremony); yin-yang cosmology, Dao (Tao), the
I Ching (Yijing, Book of Change) and feng shui; Oriental
brush as both a visual musical art and group intuitive
problem- solving; and Japanese-Western cooking.
CULTURAL
ARTS COLLABORATION
In
addition to our cards and consulting that can help
companies strengthen corporate culture, we
are
exploring collaborations that combine haiku brush expressionist
painting with performing arts - including modern dance,
jazz, and global music.

20% of our profits
are donated to assisting: sustainable environment
through the David
Suzuki Foundation; abused children

The Sipapu Foundation of Sante Fe, New Mexico (inter-culture art collaboration).
