Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive
Japanese world view or aesthetic centred on the acceptance of transience
and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is
"imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from
the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically
impermanence, suffering, and emptiness or absence of self-nature.
Characteristics of wabi-sabi include asymmetry, asperity
(roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy,
and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and
processes.
