Andrew Juniper provides a fascinating explanation of wabi sabi, taking the reader from the art's fifteenth-century Japanese origins to its modern-day practical applications. The book is peppered with photographs and illustrations that demonstrate how wabi sabi can help provide an alternative to the fast-paced, mass-produced, neon-lit world of today. He lives in Sussex, England where he runs the Wabi-Sabi Art Gallery.
"A rich read detailing the history, art, culture, design, and
spiritual aspects of all things wabi sabi. Explains it deeply and
accessibly at the same time." --Chicago Tribune
"For the majority of Japanese, traditional Japanese culture is a
lot like fishing. Everyone has fished, but not everyone is a
fisherman. Only a few can tell you what every lure, bobber, and fly
in a tackle box is. Even less could use them. The fact is, after
reading this book, you'll understand both wabi sabi and Zen
Buddhism better than 99.99% of the Japanese population." --
