I am looking for specific examples of the use of meditative techniques
in Buddhist fine crafts and arts. Looking for ideally authoritative,scholarly,
and legitimate referenced examples of exactly how craftsmen and
artists that have a tradition of using meditation techniques or
closely related mindfulness activities _actually_ perform their
meditative practices as a part of their workday. 

As specific information on the meditative practice as possible :  What time of
day, how long, frequency, what is done and how.     Examples can be
part of the bygone historical record or present but am looking for
examples that speak to a longstanding tradition rather than a
particular individuals' ideosyncratic approach.  

"Closely related" activities might include meditative sweeping of the
work area, or a prayer to the tree to be sawed down to be used as
craft material.
I will provide 20$ for the first researcher that provides 4 strong
examples and descriptions of meditative practices in different
Buddhist culture related art/craft categories.

I will pay 5$ for each additional solid reference up to 2 examples
beyond the first 4  which I can submit to you as a tip, and then
depending on the quality of results after that I may be able to pay
for additional answers.  

Tips will be provided for answers that are
complete and clear, that describe the meditative practice in the
context of the art/craft and practitioner, with accessible and solid
references.

The general kind of crafts and arts that are fair game are:

zen inspired Pottery/ Ceramics
fine carpentry
high end stone-masonry 
fine furniture making
quality artistic woodworking / carpentry
gem carving
monastic wine making
ceremonial and fine sword making
Calligraphy - (but note I have provided a Solid example below you
would want to beat to be compensated.)

other traditional arts and crafts will be considered for compensation
as well. If you arent sure if an area is valid, please do ask.
Let me give you an example of what I would consider a basic example. 

EXAMPLE: 
there's a book called  Zen Brushwork: Focusing the Mind With
Calligraphy and Painting by Tanchu Terayama , ISBN 4770029446 that
discusses the meditative warmup exercises japanese calligraphers will
do before setting brush to paper.. one evocative exercise is called
"Writing in  the air". You would provide brief description of the
meditative practice to be inserted here, and what pages in the book
the exercises are described.

In your answer about the meditative practice, I am looking for : When
- Where - How Frequently - -description-  What Practitioners say
about why they do it - Claimed Benefits- Special Occasions - also, how
historically old is this practice - who is currently doing it  .. more
the better of factual type descriptions -

I dont need theory references about how to do meditation in general,
the general benefits of meditation, or how it integrates into a
spiritual practice.

my specific interest is  in how fine Buddhist craftsmen and artists 
practice meditation as a part of their creative workday.
