Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death.  It's simple, slow, and uncluttered-reveres authenticity above all.                                                   - Tadao Ando

If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy, and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi.                    -Andrew Juniper
