ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to analyze Japan’s wabi-sabi and iki in comparison with Korea's han and Western aesthetic categories. It is understood that wabi-sabi, iki and han are not pure concepts of aesthetics but are also associated with human behaviors, psychology and somesthesis. In addition to this, these concepts may sometimes become expressions that connote rejection of the world. Therefore, to set bases for these concepts, they have to be described with consideration for a function to provide feedback when they are used and while differentiating the demeanors and latent powers. Based on this consideration, a circulation model of aesthetic formation created by Yako based on the later thought of Wittgenstein is applied to these concepts. In order to clarify their attributes while differentiating the demeanors, each circulation is examined from the aspects like stability, orientation, distance, clarity, tension, intensity and persistence. Lastly, Kuki's “iki cube” has been reconstructed through the comparison with one of the author’s model.
