Wabi Sabi, In Search of Harmony

Content : This is a poetic and beautifully illustrated book to help readers' understanding of wabi sabi.

It evokes wabi sabi through a series of haikus linked to a selection of photos, showing the use of natural materials such as wood and stone. In everyday life, wabi sabi takes the form of simple, contemplative rituals, such as drinking a cup of tea, contemplating a floral arrangement or meditating on a tatami mat. It's an approach to life that encourages gratitude for the little things, the beauty of the present moment and connection with nature. Rather than striving for perfection, we can find grace and poetry in imperfection and transience. True beauty lies in simplicity, authenticity and the ability to find peace in the present moment.

The book is divided into 4 parts:
1. Dazzled by nature
2. The art of tea
3. Humbled by the sacred
4. Celebrating the passing of time

This is a gift book that (should) help readers feel good and should soothe them.
