The Spirit of Wabi SabiThe spirit of Wabi Sabi is based on a simple set of ideals adopted from nature. These ideals are as straightforward as nature itself. It was only through keen powers of observation that the Japanese were able to discern these hidden rules of nature, even though they are simple in their basic concepts. Because they lived as part of nature, they were able to understand it acutely. Excerpted from Wabi Sabi Style by James Crowley, Sandra Crowley All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
