Shijin

Shijin, is almost like the male version of Yume. Shijin means Poet. A Poet writes himself into a world that he has created and he is whatever he wishes to be in that world. In Japan, parents don’t name their sons Shijin for hopes of them becoming a poet, the name him Shijin in hopes that he will create his own world and affect society positively with their wold. Shijin is comprised of two words, “Shi” meaning, pride and/or order; and “jin” meaning virtue and humanity.
