Wabi-Sabi
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi centers on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. It is often described as the appreciation of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is prevalent in many forms of Japanese art.
Wabi-sabi combines two interrelated concepts: wabi and sabi. According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, wabi may be translated as "subdued, austere beauty", and sabi as "rustic patina". Wabi-sabi derives from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, which include impermanence, suffering, and emptiness or absence of self-nature. (Adapted from Wikipedia).
