  • This House prefers a world that embraces the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi over the pursuit of perfection in life.

    Infoslide

    Wabi-Sabi (侘寂) is a traditional Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. Wabi refers to the appreciation of simplicity, humility, and natural roughness, such as a handmade clay cup that is slightly uneven. Sabi emphasizes the beauty that comes with age and time, like a wooden bench worn smooth and faded by years of use. Together, Wabi-Sabi teaches that true beauty lies not in perfection, but in the natural cycle of growth, decay, and transience.
