Wabi-sabi (pronounced “wah-be-sah-be”), phrase from wabi meaning “simplicity” and sabi meaning “the beauty of age and wear,” a worldview centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The abandonment of all aesthetic ideals that demand “perfection,” wabi-sabi is an appreciation of things the way they are; a revelling in the texture and complexity of real life and the beauty of imperfection. Think asymmetrical faces, knobbly vegetables, and cracked pots.
