Since I love the concept of shibumi, I had to illustrate the word even though I don’t consider myself a designer.
The seven principles and shibumi apply so well to art. I have grown into working in this manner, and it was a surprise to find words that fit these concepts so well. I love it when a discovered truth resonates with other thinkers and dreamers and I discover myself part
of a community I hadn’t known existed.
Shibumi can stand on its own, implying the principles that support its meaning within the shape of the letters.
