Miyabi is one of the oldest Japanese terms used to express an aesthetic ideal. Miyabi was used to reference the courtly elegance, the ideal image of the aristocratic culture, eliminating the absurd or vulgar and only keeping the polishing of manners, diction, and feelings without any roughness or crudity so as to achieve the highest grace. The term Miyabi was the hallmark of the Heian era, and was very used in arts and writing to express the sensibility to beauty.
Korin and Kansei series are elaborated works in which the high gloss varnishing only used over the flowers and leaves stand out this pattern creating a feeling of volume and depth.
