Wabi Sabi: The Japanese Art of Impermanence Paperback - 2003
by Andrew Juniper
Summary
Wabi sabi, the quintessential Japanese design aesthetic, is quickly gaining popularity around the world, as evidenced by recent articles in Time, The Chicago Tribune and Kyoto Journal. Taken from the Japanese words wabi, which translates to less is more, and sabi, which means attentive melancholy, wabi sabi refers to an awareness of the transient nature of earthly things and a corresponding pleasure in the things that bear the mark of this impermanence. As a design style, wabi sabi helps us to appreciate the simple beauty in imperfection--of a chipped vase or a rainy day, for example.
From the publisher
First line
THIS QUOTE FROM ALAN WATTS regarding Zen's predecessor, Taoism, captures beautifully the link between religious ideals and wabi sabi's aesthetics.
