What are the three realms of Japanese aesthetics?

The three great realms of Japanese aesthetics are material sorrow, esotericism, and wabi-silence. The feelings of material sorrow are purely spiritual feelings that transcend rationality, and to a certain extent, are experienced by the individual, which can be understood, but are difficult to convey.

Japanese aesthetics is a general term for the aesthetic theories that arose and evolved in Japan, in the tradition of Yedo, and gradually combined with the study of Western aesthetic thought.
