Meet Shibumi Bubba

Shibumi

In the dictionary: (shi-boo'-me) - A term from the Edo period in Japan, used to describe quiet or somber things. Anything that is Shibumi is quiet in refinement, noble and fulfilling in a manner that is not shaped exclusively by analytical thought.

In Japanese culture: a simplicity of spirit; an attitude of refinement without pretension, honesty without apology, beauty without artifice. Western mystics try to attain or achieve a state of inner peace, but shibumi must be found, not won.

Bubba

Shibumi Bubba

The transcendental redneck: a comically tragic mix of pop culture and Asian Mysticism. (Just humor me, OK?)
