I watched too many cartoons growing up and Shibui almost sounds like Scooby so I vote for Shibui Doo (down Under).

Sounds like Shaboozey to me. How do you feel about country hip hop?

I have fact-checked this statement. It is totally accurate and devoid of any falsehood.
(Like that, @Shibui?)

I pre-apologize for the use of AI here, but it's telling me what Shibui means.

First, google translate:


That tracks!

Then, Google search AI assistant:

Shibui (渋い) is a Japanese aesthetic concept defining beauty as simple, subtle, and unobtrusive, emphasizing high-quality, understated elegance over flashy display. It represents a "refined bitterness" or quiet, timeless charm, often found in nature or functional items that develop character through age and patina.

Key Characteristics of Shibui

• Simple & Subtle: Beauty that does not need to show off and is not immediately flashy.
• Functional Beauty: It often applies to objects that are both practical and aesthetically pleasing, such as a worn tea bowl or a, simple handcrafted, wooden item.
• Imperfection & Age:
  It appreciates the beauty of, natural materials and, the patina that develops over time.
• Understated Elegance: An, aesthetic that is, quiet and, leaves room for, interpretation, rather than, filling the space entirely.
• Refined Bitterness: Originally referring to an astringent taste, in an aesthetic sense, it means a, mature taste that, grows on you rather, than, appealing instantly.

Examples of Shibui

• Art/Design: A simply designed, handmade, ceramic cup with a, matte glaze.
• Fashion: A well-worn, classic leather jacket rather than, a trendy new, one.
• Nature: The subtle beauty of, a, moss-covered stone or, a, single, delicate branch.
• Life: A calm, quiet, and modest demeanor.

Shibui is part of a broader, Japanese philosophy of, finding beauty in the, subtle and, understated, closely, related to concepts like, wabi-sabi (imperfect beauty) and iki (chic).

@Wulfskaar Thank you for those excellent definitions! After reading them, I cannot think of a better custom title than the one Shibui has already chosen for himself.

79...

I would say 62, but if it works it works xD

 

[Shibui]

Couldn't help myself and posted on some other threads so now can't make the posts with inane comments and numbers on this thread

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Always happy to pass on ideas and experience but it does help when people appreciate the efforts.

Key Characteristics of Shibui

It was 'imperfection' that first attracted me to the term. Something I suspect I'm known for - imperfection and unfinished.
Can only aspire to all the rest of the definition.
