Wabi Sabi


From the Buddhist tradition, the term wabi sabi reflects Japanese aesthetic values as it "nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

This collection of images, ideas, and reflections seeks to express imperfectly some of the magic that I experienced in a faraway land.

(Quotation above from Richard Powell, Buddhist scholar).
