Hello to all,
One of the interesting people I met in Japan had an unusual occupation.
The closest American equivalent was a designer of sorts. He designed
everything from Tea Ceremonies to environments for restaurants. Would
any of you know what this person would be called in Japanese?
Thanks, Candise

Hi,
My good friend in Grad school A Japanese/Hawaiian would always say her
pot was/or had Shabui, it was when it had a slight flaw that enhanced
the overall effect. She always had a smile on her face at the time ,too,

I think you are thinking of SHIBUI.
Here's a definition
Shibui is a statement so correct that it need not be bold,so poignant
that it need not be pretty, so true that it need not be real. It is
understanding rather than knowledge. Eloquent silence. Modesty without
shame.
In art it takes on an elegant simplicity,articulate brevity. (Not my
words..somebody named Trevanian.
In my own words, I would say that the overall" rightness" perceived by
the eye transcends any imperfections.

You are likely referring to Wabi Sabi.
Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
It is a beauty of things modest and humble.
It is a beauty of things unconventional.

Another such term is "Wabi". which refers to quiet tranquility, a refined
simplicity, etc.

And the arch on http://www.ceramicsite.com/shroom.html provide an
interesting example. How is the left side supported. It's hard to see in
the pic.
