Miyabi, it means Japanese elegance, grace, refine.etc.....
Old Japanese had miyabi minds.
In those days, a princess had hid their face with a fan
when they'd felt something hesitate.

Now, Japanese lost their miyabi mind. That's so sad.
One day one diligent Japanese high-tech team made high-tech PC.
Its name was "MIYABI".It had not so much software, only 5 or 6.
Outside was made of wood & Japanese paper. Very miyabi, indeed.
They made it as a lap top style, because they felt
lap top style was more miyabi than desk top style.
Very big point was that this machine had human-like intelligence.

"MIYABI" had exported to Europe. Because this kind of
stoic machine was just European taste.
Like"ZEN mind."
And one Hollander bought this PC.
He unwrapped "MIYABI" with delight and stroked to check.

Suddenly it shuttered like a timid shellfish.
The computer programmed to have miyabi mind itself,
so she(?) suddenly hid the face because she hesitated a lot.
