Week 23 - Wabi Sabi

Wabi Sabi: The Japanese Art of Impermanence... The concept is derived 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. Another general way of looking at wabi-sabi would be "beauty in the imperfection" — such as a crack or chip that brings interest to a piece of pottery or rust that might have tarnished an object that was once lustrous.
