Taoism and its off-shoot zen have produced many fascinating non-martial expressions that are well worth exploring.
Japan in particular has many rich traditions that incorporate a taoist influence.

Painting, textiles, music, pottery, literature, tea ceremony, sculpture, gardening, food presentation, calligraphy, wrapping things using fabric, flower arrangement, poetry, theatre, architecture, clothing, food and language all provide opportunities to deepen your understanding and appreciation of what 'tao' represents.
