Info on Fusui

In Japan, Feng Shui is called Fusui and has had a long history and wielded considerable influence from ancient to contemporary times. Like other practices that incorporate the five Chinese elements in Japan, such as traditional Japanese medicine, the art of Fusui has had limited exposure outside the country.

From its beginning Fusui has been inseparable from yin yang dualism and the Five Elements/Phases theory, the basic Chinese doctrine that all things and events are product of Yin (vital energy of the earth) and Yang (vital energy of the heavens).

Yin and Yang interact to produce the five elements or phases/agents: metal, water, wood, fire and earth. As such Fusui is all about harmonising yourself with your surrounding environment.
