Yūgen (幽玄)
[ yoo-ghen ] • noun
"Profound, mysterious, and subtle beauty"
Yūgen describes a depth of feeling that words cannot easily express. It is beauty that is felt rather than seen; like looking into the dark depths of the sky or sensing the vastness of the universe. It evokes a quiet sense of awe, wonder, and deep emotional resonance.
