Please Buy This If You're A Perfectionist. A solid reminder that exactly what you're trying to create--in whatever manner--will not be complete until something about that process or result is imperfect. And that the true beauty is not only in that imperfection, but your acceptance of it.I highly recommend this book for anyone who, like me, is a rigid Type A with difficulty acknowledging (let alone accepting!) that the standard Earth day is 2Please Buy This If You're A Perfectionist.

A pleasant breakdown of wabi-sabi's various applied meanings, and a few vague suggestions as to what it truly means. This book is in every single design store, and it made a great gift for my design/Japan loving boyfriend.. Bilgi said I loved reading it and will surely enjoy reading for many. This book is not only about aesthetic, but about life. This is not only for artists, designers, poets & philosopers -as its name suggests- but for everyone interested in slow life, appreciating the very moment, the impermanent, the imperfect. I loved reading it and will surely enjoy reading for many more times.
"Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers is a touchstone for designers of all stripes." -The New York Times"In a prominent spot near Square's welcome lobby stands a communal bookshelfMost titles lining the shelves cover subjects you might expect at a high-flying tech startupAnd then there are books placed on the shelf by Twitter and Square co-founder Jack Dorsey. He offers up Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers --an explication of the Japanese concept of serendipitous beauty." -The Wall Street Journal"Indeed, you could say that Koren has spearheaded the design equivalent of the slow food movement." -The New York Times
Leonard Koren, trained as an artist and architect, writes books about design and aesthetics.
An updated version of the seminal 1994 classic volume on the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. Nearly every book with "wabi" or "wabi-sabi" in the title is based on the concepts first elucidated in this book.
