   INTRO: The Japanese idea of beauty extends from brash and bold to
   the ideal of beauty, called shibui. Shibui means an understated
   kind of beauty, a quality that speaks quietly, for itself.
   Shibui objects have a refined, unobtrusive sophistication. They
   embody utility, maturity, complexity, history -- the patina that
   only time can bring: a deeply spiritual kind of elegance, rooted
   in the quiet appreciation of nature.
      Today, both Japanese and western musicians attracted by this
   aesthetic are creating fusions of traditional Japanese and
   contemporary ambient music.
