A Japanese principle inspired by the imperfections of life and finding beauty in repair. Broadly, wabi-sabi is everything that today’s sleek, mass-produced, technology-saturated culture isn’t. It’s flea markets, not shopping malls; aged wood, not swank floor coverings; one single morning glory, not a dozen red roses. Wabi-sabi understands the tender, raw beauty. It celebrates cracks and crevices and rot and all the other marks that time and weather and use leave behind.
