This extended essay in words and pictures universalizes the Japanese traditional rustic aesthetic of wabi-sabi that was developed over hundreds of years by Zen priests and teamasters. Author Leonard Koren shows how wabi-abi functions today as a prototypical "complete" aesthetic, nature-based and "soft" in contrast to the "hard" digital aesthetics of modern computer-age design. As such, it offers a wealth of insight into materials and process.
Review:
"...[G]ives a brief history of wabi-sabi and a deep examination of the concept in moral, spiritual, metaphysical, and material terms. Black-and-white photographs illustrate the aesthetic ideal, perfectly conveying the Zen simplicity and stillness."
