Found when searching for a children's book about a cat (both of same name) recommended by a dear friend who is a watercolorist. This turned out to be the book I'd been looking for for years regarding what I'd been calling, as a writer, "a discipline of indiscipline." My friend had never heard of the concept either, and when I showed her this book, she asked for her own copy. It has created a special bond between us, crossing generations, spiritual practice, and artistic media. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Developed out of the aesthetic philosophy of cha-no-yu (the tea ceremony) in fifteenth-century Japan, wabi sabi is an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. Taken from the Japanese words wabi, which translates to less is more, and sabi, which means attentive melancholy, 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 much a state of mind-an awareness of the things around us and an acceptance of our surroundings-as it is a design style, wabi sabi begs us to appreciate the simple beauty in life-a chipped vase, a quiet rainy day, the impermanence of all things. Presenting itself as an alternative to today's fast-paced, mass-produced, neon-lighted world, wabi sabi reminds us to slow down and take comfort in the simple, natural beauty around us. In addition to presenting the philosophy of wabi-sabi, this book includes how-to design advice-so that a transformation of body, mind, and home can emerge. Chapters include: - History: The Development of Wabi Sabi - Culture: Wabi Sabi and the Japanese Character - Art: Defining Aesthetics - Design: Creating Expressions with Wabi Sabi Materials - Spirit: The Universal Spirit of Wabi Sabi.

From there, he went on to the spiritual concepts and then on to design.
He ended the book well, by giving us an example of an old African shawl, stating that the African embodied the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi more than some modern Japanese do.
Overall, an excellent book that weaves the practical with the spiritual, and some warnings. ( )
