WABI – SABI
The Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy of perfect
beauty being a result of imperfections.

Wabi-Sabi is a way of seeing the world that is
at the heart of Japanese culture. It finds beauty
and harmony in what is simple, imperfect,
natural, modest, and mysterious. It can be a
little dark, but it is also warm and comfortable. It
may best be understood as a feeling rather than
as an idea.

Today’s interpretation of wabi-sabi as a unified
concept was eloquently defined in English by
Leonard Koren more than a decade ago as
the “beauty of things imperfect, impermanent,
and incomplete. It is a beauty of things
modest and humble. It is a beauty of things
unconventional”.
