What is wabi-sabi: the beauty of the imperfect

What is wabi-sabi

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is the art of appreciating simple, time-worn, and authentic things.

The two words

• Wabi: sober and humble beauty, simplicity
• Sabi: the grace that comes with time, the patina of years

How to bring it into daily life

• Choose a few objects, but ones you truly love
• Appreciate natural materials: wood, ceramics, linen
• Make room for emptiness and silence
• Accept imperfection, both in your home and in yourself

Wabi-sabi and Yurari
