At once a way of living, a philosophical concept
and a traditional aesthetic, wabi-sabi centres
the celebration of imperfection and simplicity,
and is regularly aligned with Zen Buddhism
and the tradition of Japanese tea ceremony.
It can be dated back to the ninth century when
fine powder of green tea was used for the
ceremonial presentation of matcha. Wabi-sabi
celebrates the natural beauty; it prefers the
imperfection to the perfection. “Wabi-sabi
represents the exact opposite of the Western
ideal of great beauty as something monumen-
tal, spectacular and enduring,” says the writer
and architect Leonard Koren. “[It] is not found
in nature at moments of bloom and lushness,
but at moments of inception and subsiding.”
作為一種哲學理念與傳統美學概念，
wabi-sabi
如今已
演變成一種生活態度，其核心精神是追求本源之美、無
懼時間考驗，並常與佛學禪宗、日本的茶道傳統共存。
它可追溯至九世紀的日本茶道文化，是一種以精細的
綠茶粉來炮製抹茶的禮節儀式。
Wabi-sabi
崇尚人和
天地間的自然之美，取天然而捨人造，取異而捨同，
取缺而捨滿。建築師及作家
Leonard Koren
曾說：
「
wabi-sabi
所代表的美學觀與西方崇尚宏偉壯觀、偉
大不朽的理念是完全相對的。這種美並不在於事物充盈
盛放之時，而在其盈極生虧之始。」
