Iki & DesignIki suggests that design is most effective when it is creative but constrained by culture. This might be extended to suggest that mastery of design requires cultural refinement.NotesIt should be noted that even in Japanese, the concept of Iki is somewhat vague. Its definitions often have little in common. For example, one famous definition suggests Iki is the combination of the romance of the Geisha, the valor of the Samurai and the resignation of the Buddhist priesthood. Generally speaking, most definitions have a sense of culture, emotion, sophistication, spontaneity, confidence and maturity.
