*''Miyabi'' (雅) - refinement, elegance, courtliness, sophistication. ''Miyabi'' could incorporate or refer to other aesthetics, including things which were ''aware'', ''en'', or ''okashi'', but ''miyabi'' includes an implication that the person appreciating these things in this way is educated, cultured, and possesses the refinement or sophistication to appreciate such things correctly, and to understand, or feel, the more profound symbolic resonances or emotional connotations of the thing being appreciated. In later periods, especially in the [[Edo period]], the character for ''miyabi'', read as ''ga'', came to be commonly used to refer to elegance and refinement in contrast to ''zoku'' (俗) - things vulgar or mundane.
