Etymology
[edit]From 不気味 (bukimi, “eerie, uncanny”) + の (no, genitive particle) + 谷 (tani, “valley”).
Coined by Masahiro Mori in 1970, to describe a dip in the likeability of a humanoid robot in relation to its resemblance to the human face to the point where it becomes "uncanny", before picking up again as the human resemblance nears perfection, thus forming a "valley".
Noun
[edit]不気味の谷 • (bukimi no tani)
