意味

Elegance; refined aesthetic appreciation; the quality of finding beauty in nature, the seasons, and the traditional arts.

A noun and na-adjective (風流な) evoking a distinctly Japanese aesthetic ideal: the sensibility that finds poetry in watching snow fall or hearing a cicada's cry. It overlaps with 風雅 but carries a slightly more accessible nuance — elegance available to anyone with a cultivated heart, not only the aristocratic elite. 風流人 (fūryū-jin) is a person of aesthetic refinement. In modern usage, the word can also carry a nostalgic or gently ironic tone.

例文

  3. 忙しい現代人には風流を楽しむ余裕がなくなりつつあると嘆く声も聞く。
