7 Japanese Zen Aesthetic Principles That Define Wabi Sabi When people talk about Wabi Sabi, they often describe it as "the beauty of imperfection." But that’s just the beginning. Behind this idea lies a set of Zen-inspired principles that have shaped Japanese art, design, and everyday life for centuries. In this video, we explore seven aesthetic principles that define the essence of Wabi Sabi. If you’ve already watched "8 Japanese Aesthetics That Might Change How You See Beauty," you might notice many parallels with Masayuki Kurokawa’s concept of the eight aesthetic consciousnesses. His ideas often overlap with the principles here, though they offer a slightly different perspective. Still, I hope you’ll enjoy seeing how Japanese aesthetics can be interpreted in different ways. Perhaps through these different expressions, we can move closer to the heart of Japanese aesthetics. Which principle speaks to you the most? Has this helped you feel closer to the spirit of Wabi Sabi?
