Nothing is perfect. Nothing is finished. Nothing lasts forever. These are the phrases that encapsulate wabi sabi, the Japanese philosophy that, in the words of Nobuo Suzuki, author of the bestselling book Wabi Sabi: The Wisdom of Imperfection, embraces the beauty of the incomplete, the impermanent and the imperfect. As wabi sabi encompasses the principles of kanso (simplicity), shizen (naturalness), fukinsei (asymmetry) and yūki tekusucha (organic texture), it presents a different view of aesthetics, one that is unique to the Japanese.
For them,the most highly-valued. For these flaws, dents and cracks make the piece unique.
