Yugen is one of the highest aesthetic values in the field of Japanese art and poetry.

connotes faintness or shadowy-ness, in the sense that it rather negates the self subsistent
solidity of existence, or that it suggests insubstantiality, or more accurately the rarefied quality of
physical concreteness in the dimension of empirical reality.

means dimness, darkness or blackness. It is the darkness caused by profoundity; so deep that
our physical eyesight cannot possibly reach its depth, that is to say, the darkness in the region of
unknowable profoundity.

Things and events coming into and going out of existence, becomes transformed before our eyes
into a field, intangible and mysterious, in which things and events assume a tinge of yugen, losing
the empirical solidity of self-subsistency, wafting as it were in the air, thus pointing to the presence of
the primordial, non-articulated reality underlying them.
