[ Wabi-Sabito]



Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. (passing with time or is the state of being brief and short-lived) The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist assertion of the Three marks of existence specifically impermanence.
Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and the suggestion of natural processes.
