Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers by Leonard Koren
Out of stock
Description
This is an updated version of the enduring classic that first introduced the concept of "imperfect beauty" to the West. Text, images, and book design seamlessly meld into a wabi-sabi-like experience.
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese concept relating to the beauty of things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete — in its purest, most idealized form, it is a celebration of delicate traces, faint impressions, and permeable borders. It occupies roughly the same position in the Japanese pantheon of aesthetic values as do the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection in the West. This is a wonderful book that encourages creative souls to make peace with, and cherish, their failures and imperfections.
