“Wabi” represents the inner spiritual experiences of human life. Its original meaning indicates quiet or sober refinement, or subdued taste characterized by humility, restraint, simplicity, naturalism, profundity, imperfection, and asymmetry. “Sabi,” on the other hand, represents the outer material side of life. Originally, it meant “worn,” “weathered,” or “decayed.” Together, wabi-sabi emphasizes simplicity, humility, consciousness of impermanence, and intense appreciation of the immediate experience, and this is reflected in the aesthetics of the tea ceremony. Life is unpredictable. And that’s okay. Embrace it.
