WABI SABI
A charming book of wabi sabi related quotes. Been reading this the past few nights before I go to sleep. Found at Kinokuniya, Takashimaya, Tokyo.
WABI has been defined as: tranquil simplicity; austere elegance; unpolished, imperfect, or irregular beauty; rusticity; things in their simplest, most austere, and natural state; a serene, transcendental state of mind.
SABI has been interpreted as: the beauty that treasures the passage of time, and with it the lonely sense of impermanence it evokes. It has also been defined as the patina that age bestows, or as that which is true to the natural cycle of birth and death.
