Shibui (渋い)

“The world abounds with different aspects of beauty. The lovely, the powerful, the gay, the smart—all belong to the beautiful. Each person, according to his disposition and environment, will feel a special affinity to one or another aspect. But when his taste grows more refined, he will necessarily arrive at a beauty which is shibui. Many a term serves to denote the secret of beauty, but this is the final word.”

– Yanagi Soetsu (1889 -1961)

Simple, Subtle, Unobtrusive Beauty.

At Shibui Digital we care about creating beautiful work which is simple yet interesting. This mindset is applied to all work we complete, this can be anything from websites, design work, photography, and styling all the way through to the customer service we provide our customers and partners.

To help us achieve this we take the following Japanese principles into consideration.

Fukinsei (不均斉) — asymmetry, irregularity;

Kanso (簡素) — simplicity;

Koko (考古) — basic, weathered;

Shizen (自然) — without pretense, natural;

Yugen (幽玄) — subtly profound grace, not obvious;

Datsuzoku (脱俗) — unbounded by convention, free;

Seijaku (静寂) — tranquility, silence.
