What Does Shizen Mean?
Pinoy Otaku Festival - ピノイオタクフェスティバル theme's SHIZEN pronounced "shee-zen", is a common noun that translates to mean "nature".
SHIZEN, 自然 (しぜん), these two kanji characters literally mean ‘a natural state. This literal interpretation is not completely in line with the meaning, but still, very close, I think. Nature refers to things in their natural states. When people think of nature, the first thing they might think of are mountains, forests, rivers, and plants. According to "西洋の哲学・東洋の思想 (the Western philosophy and Eastern thought) by Kunitsugu Kosaka, it was not until the end of the Meiji era that the word "shizen(自然)" was used in the sense of "nature(=mountains, rivers, plants, etc)".
'Mountains, rivers, grass, trees, the world of all those things which do not include humans and those things which do not include humans and those things which humans have made.' [Reference: https://snownotes.org/en/shizen-and-nature-the-real-meaning-of-shizen]
