Scroll to see all 14 Japanese Austere Elegance tattoo designs

Here we offer 14 different hand-brushed Japanese Austere Elegance tattoo designs by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase. For these Austere Elegance tattoo designs the fonts are different, but the characters and the meaning are the same. So order the style you like - the meaning is the same for each design.

Austere Elegance in Japanese is 渋み which is read shibumi. The Japanese word shibumi literally means "astringency" or "astringent taste" and is related to the word 渋い (read shibui), however, shibumi is used to mean the Japanese aesthetic of "austere elegance" or "quiet beauty".

The word shibumi has been commonly written differently over the centuries. That is, the word is the same, the meaning is the same, but the "spelling" is different. Previously, the all kanji 渋味 was common. However, "recently" 渋み has gained favor and the reasoning is clear: shibumi is quintessentially Japanese and writing shibumi partly or all in hiragana makes the word itself uniquely Japanese.

Here I include designs for all three variations: 渋味, 渋み, and しぶみ. My personal preference is to use 渋み though you can correctly choose the design and the spelling that appeals to you.
