Wabi sabi is the epitome of Japanese aesthetics. Wabi sabi is the beauty of imperfect, impermanent and incomplete things. This is the beauty of small and humble things. That's the beauty of atypical things ...

Developed by Japanese tea masters, wabi-sabi is at the heart of various traditional Japanese arts - floral art, calligraphy, architecture, pottery, gardens.

It refers to the deep soul of Japan imbued with Zen Buddhism.
In its narrowest sense, it is a special type of beauty.
In its broadest sense, it is a way of life.
