ZEN Design – Seven Principles
Kanso (簡素) Simplicity or elimination of clutter
Fukinsei (不均整) Design in odds, not evens (i.e. 3 candles, not 4)
Shibui/Shibumi (渋味) Beautiful by being understated
Shizen (自然) Naturalness – using bare wood, unpolished stone
Yugen (幽玄) Imply more by not showing the whole. Show more by showing less.
Datsuzoku (脱俗) Transcending the convention
Seijaku (静寂) Tranquility or an energized calm
