Miyabi, translated into English means genteelness. There are three motifs in this series which flourished during the ancient Japanese dynasty of the Hei-an period between the 8th and 12th centuries.
The first is called Kai-Awase, which is a shell game; the second is called Bugaku, which is Dancing Music; and the third is called Soushi-E, which is picture book.
