Wabi Sabi: The Japanese Art of Impermanence

Author(s): Andrew Juniper

Interior Design

Wabi sabi, the quintessential Japanese design aesthetic, is quickly gaining popularity around the world. Wabi sabi refers to an awareness of the transient nature of earthly things and a corresponding pleasure in the things that bear the mark of this impermanence. As a design style, wabi sabi helps us to appreciate the simple beauty in imperfection - of a chipped vase or a rainy day, for example.
