## Description

An updated version of the classic volume on the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. Every book about wabi-sabi is based on the paradigm introduced in the original edition of this book.

Review: A wonderful reading experience - There was nothing I didn't like about this book, it captivated me from the first page to the last. Easy to read and also very informative, it presents clear notions of what Wabi-Sabi is and what it is not. It goes down to the roots of the concept and follows its evolution through time and space. The comparisons with our Western art principles are also very clear and helpful. I'd recommend this book to almost anyone who likes reading and very specially to some Western authors who publish their own books on Wabi-Sabi techniques using colours and textures in great excess, that are exactly the contrary to the Wabi-Sabi approach.
Review: Thought provoking and easily understood presentation of wabi-sabi - Koren's clarity and thorough discussion of all aspects of wabi-sabi is hugely useful to anyone who doesn't have a Japanese cultural background. I really liked the way he explained the historical marketing incentive for keeping wabi-sabi an inscrutable concept. He sees wabi-sabi as an endangered species even within Japan and the whole book makes a good case for adoption of it's principles by non-Japanese. There are some great pictures too!
