“Wabi-sabi can be called a ‘comprehensive’ aesthetic system. Its world view, or universe, is self-referential. It provides an integrated approach to the ultimate nature of existence (metaphysics), sacred knowledge (spirituality), emotional well-being (state of mind), behavior (morality), and the look and feel of things (materiality). The more systematic and clearly defined the components of an aesthetic system are – the more conceptual handles, the more ways it refers back to fundamentals – the more useful it is.”
– Leonard Koren
Wabi Sabi is de acceptatie dat niets blijft zoals het is.
