**** 潔い：いさぎよい；ISAGI-YOI ****

This is very difficult word to translate.

It means a positive state of mind to accept losing. Do you understand? Or, does it make sense for you?

This word relates to the deep part of Japanese mind. For a SAMURAI, to lose is not shameful. Instead, it is shameful when you win using unfair method.　****Added: Clean loser is much better than dirty winner. ****

Not only the win/lose situation, ISAGI-YOI is often used when one giving up something like "This car has not air conditioner to decrease the cost. It is ISAGI-YOI".

Sorry for the explanation not enough.

Additional description:

We have a saying "負けるが勝ち:まけるがかち;MAKERU GA KACHI" meaning "To lose is to win" when translated word to word. I know you will feel strange. Learn it by yourself.
