Given the growing interest in Japanese culture in Argentina, this essay attempts to analyze the link between the concepts of moment, emptiness, ambiguity and vulnerability, to relate them to design, art, aesthetics, Zen philosophy and nature. The kimono, the characteristic door called shōji, its wooden frames and washi paper, Haiku poetry, white and shadows, are some of the examples that are addressed to explain it. It is also essential to understand that Japanese language is also inextricably linked to design and its philosophy. In Japanese culture, speaking and listening is a true art and the reason why this paper addresses the issue from not only the texts of Kenya Hara, Junichirō Tanizaki and Jorge Luis Borges, but also includes -necessarily- a dialogue between the author of this article and the Japanese philosopher Mami Goda, resident in Argentina for almost a decade.
