Wabi Sabi
Wabi Sabi is a deep and profoundly rooted notion in the Japanese spirit. Something between an artistic concept, a philosophy of life and a personal feeling. It is imperceptible but everywhere in Japanese culture; as subtle as the appreciation of a crack on a teapot, the wood of an old door, green moss on a rock or the reflection of the moon in a lake. And characteristics of the aesthetic, including asymmetry, economy, austerity, intimacy, and appreciation of the integrity of natural objects and processes are applied in classical Japanese aesthetics like flower arranging, poetry, the tea ceremony, and Zen gardens.
