- Wabi-sabi is a Japanese concept where they appreciate imperfections and flaws. They place value on these and believe that it resembles natural beauty and gives things value. - For example appreciating the cracks on a tea cup. Or fixing a broken pot by melting gold to fix cracks. ---- Wabi-sabi is a Japanese concept that shows us the beauty of the fleeting, changeable, and imperfect nature of the world around us. Instead of searching for beauty in perfection, we should look for it in things that are flawed, incomplete. This is why the Japanese place such value, for example, on an irregular or cracked teacup. Only things that are imperfect, incomplete, and ephemeral can truly be beautiful, because only those things resemble the natural world. - [[Ikigai]]
