巧まざる (たくまざる) Japanese meaning | Kotomora
Kanji 巧 adroit, skilled, ingenuity Related words 自し 然ぜん 自然 is a general word for 'natural' and can describe anything from nature to behavior. 巧まざる specifically emphasizes the absence of deliberate artifice in a person's expression or creation.
無む 造ぞう 作さ 無造作 means 'casual' or 'without care', often implying a lack of effort or thought. 巧まざる implies a natural grace that comes without trying, often with a positive nuance.
Etymology From the negative form of the verb 巧む (たくむ, 'to devise, to scheme'), literally meaning 'not contrived'. The kanji 巧 carries the meaning of 'skillful' or 'clever', so 巧まざる suggests a skill or beauty that is not artificially produced.
