about

Wabi sabi
“Where the mood of the moment is solitary and quiet, it is called sabi. When the artist is feeling depressed or sad, and in this peculiar emptiness of feeling catches a glimpse of something rather ordinary and unpretentious in its incredible "suchness," the mood is called wabi. When the moment evokes a more intense, nostalgic sadness, connected with autumn and the vanishing away of the world, it is called aware. And when the vision is the sudden perception of something mysterious and strange, hinting at an unknown never to be discovered, the mood is called yugen. These extremely untranslatable Japanese words denote the four basic moods of furyu, that is, of the general atmosphere of Zen "taste" in its perception of the aimless moments of life.”
--) Alan Watts on furyu in The Way of Zen

About the tracks:

Wabi sabi: aesthetics of the imperfect with the sense of solitude

Iki: to be attractive and sophisticated in spirit and looks

Yabo: unpolished, primitive, raw / turning from tasteful adornment into kitsch

Yügen: ethereal, mysterious, and ghostly

Kire: sharpness of movement, statements, or alcoholic beverages

Shibusa : chic, bitter

Yohaku-no-bi: the beauty of empty space

Gutai: concrete, objective and can be understood as an antonym to abstract, theoretical.

Kawaii: particularly excessive cuteness aesthetic
