​Scenic Photographic  of MIYABI

Miyabi is a Japanese word that expresses the profound sense of beauty that is unique to Japanese people, and is an expression of maintaining an elegant beauty.

Since the etymology of "miyabi" is derived from "miyabi", it seems to refer mainly to the elegance of court-style royalty and aristocracy (or simply Japanese style), but as Japanese literature scholar Donald Keane points out, The central feature of the Japanese concept of beauty lies in the unique sensibilities in which ``suggestion or emotion'', ``distortion or irregularity'', ``simplicity'', and ``easiness to perish'' are intricately related to each other. There is no mistake.

My photographic journey to explore the “Japanese elegant = MIYABI” that lies deep inside me continues today.

Miyabi  is an expression of the way in which elegant beauty is maintained, and is a Japanese term that expresses a profound sense of beauty unique to the Japanese.

The etymology of the word 'miyabi' is 'miyabi', which seems to refer mainly to the courtly, royal and aristocratic (or simply Japanese) elegance, but as the Japanese literary scholar Donald Keene has pointed out, a central feature of the Japanese concept of beauty is undoubtedly its unique sensitivity to the complex interrelationship of 'suggestion or affectation', 'irascibility or irregularity', 'simplicity' and 'fragility'. There is no doubt that this is a unique sensibility that is intricately related to each other.

My photographic journey in pursuit of the 'Japanese elegant = MIYABI' that lies deep within me continues.
