Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers
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 beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete . . .
. . . wabi-sabi could even be called the “Zen of things,” as it exemplifies many of Zen’s core spiritual-philosophical tenets . . .
Wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of what we think of as traditional Japanese beauty. 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 . . .
Wabi-sabi, in its purest, most idealized form, is precisely about the delicate traces, the faint evidence, at the borders of nothingness.

the book is really-really good! thankyou so much. yet, its quality leaves some space for wishes :) in a bit better quality (but the book was obviously black-n-white from the start) it's available at ihtika.net. keep in mind that the e-library is in Russian and demands registration.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a good book.... saddly the rar file is passphrase protected, and without knowing the passphrase one cannot access the book!
