What is Wabi Sabi? The art of imperfection: ...loosely - TopicsExpress



          

What is Wabi Sabi? The art of imperfection: ...loosely translated, wabi is simplicity, whether elegant or rustic; sabi means the beauty of age and wear. Wabi sabi is the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, the antithesis of our classical Western notion of beauty as something perfect, enduring, and monumental. Disclaimer: Wabi sabi is an ancient aesthetic philosophy rooted in Zen Buddhism, particularly the tea ceremony, a ritual of purity and simplicity in which masters prized bowls that were handmade and irregularly shaped, with uneven glaze, cracks, and a perverse beauty in their deliberate imperfection. ** We are NOT suggesting you take up Zen Buddhism.... just saying :)
