From Japanese History, the word ‘iki’ refers to the aesthetic of Edo’s common people. It does not merely refer to visual beauty but a sense of playfulness or even eroticism that can be subtly appreciated among the initiated. Iki can be in diverse ways such as style, behaviour and speech. Therefore, it is a way of being.
