Hi there. I'm another one of your purchases that got buried somewhere. |
Bilingual books like this one comprise another fantastic resource that I have neglected to use over the past couple of years.
Here are my words for today:
1. 技 [waza] - skill
2. なさけ [nasake] - compassion
3. 禊ぎ [misogi] - purification
4. 穢れ [kegare] - defilement
5. 艶 [tsuya] - refinement
6. わび [wabi] - the beauty of the simple
7. さび [sabi] - the beauty of the decaying ("wabisabi" makes perfect sense to me now, finally!)
8. 雅 [miyabi] - elegance
9. 徳 [toku] - virtue
10. 運気 [unki] - fate (not to be confused with "unko," which is "shit." But then again, if you're taking about shitty fate...)
