A state of "effortless perfection" or simplicity achieved through a cycle of refinement and understanding that frees one from stress and anxiety when faced with an obstacle. Shibumi is a Japanese word that means 'effortless perfection'. Anything that is Shibumi is quiet in refinement, noble and fulfilling in a manner that is not shaped exclusively by analytical thought. In Japanese culture, Shibumi implies 'a simplicity of spirit'; an attitude of refinement without pretension, honesty without apology, beauty without artifice.
