Wabi-Sabi overall is finding perfection in the imperfections… finding strength in our weaknesses.
Wabi deals with the beauty in uniqueness, individuality, singularity.
Sabi shows respect to the aged, weathered, antique, defects, and mistakes.
A little history:
Sen Rikyu was considered the “godfather of the tea ceremony”
– Tea Ceremony was designed to bring peace in oneself, and peace to Lords and politicians, higher ups…
– It became a way to show off, be flashy, and display how much better you were than every one else.
– Rikyu stripped it down to bare essentials, and wabi sabi focused on the simplicity of materials used.
– The humbled tea ceremony took the focus off of the vain materialistic aspects, and returned the focus back to the participants sharing in the moment.
