In your opinion, what is the most beautiful Chinese(/Japanese) character?

I think there are many pretty ones out there, but which one do you find to be the most beautiful - and why? I'm talking about the look of the character, not necessarily the meaning or pronunciation, although I do see how they could affect the overall look.

Please write the character, its meaning and briefly explain why you think it's the most beautiful one. You can list a few if you can't decide. Thank you!
