Karate 5th Precept - Mentality Over Technique Shower Curtain

A minimalist sumi-e inspired artwork capturing the essence of Gichin Funakoshi’s 5th Precept of Karate: “Mentality over technique.” The hand-drawn illustration of a kneeling karateka in seiza reflects the quiet strength and discipline that lies at the heart of true martial arts. Above him, the original Japanese Kanji - 技術より心術 - conveys the same teaching in its authentic form, reminding practitioners that mastery begins in the mind before it is expressed through movement. Designed in the calm, balanced style of traditional ink art, this piece embodies focus, humility, and the philosophy that spirit and intention outweigh skill alone. Perfect for dojo walls, training spaces, or as a daily reminder of the mental path behind the physical art of Karate.
