Wabi-Sabi: Further Thoughts Paperback – March 17, 2015

No fluff or mainstream.

I am using this book as background for a retreat on kintsugi. Gave the history and surrounding meaning for restoration in a broken world.

I read the first Wabi-Sabi book by Koren over 15 years ago. It is my "bible". I am an artist, designer, purist, poet and aesthetic thought, practice guru & fanatic. Ok, I am an art nerd. Buy them both. Read and enjoy.

An excellent companion to Mr. Koren's first Wabi-Sabi book. I love that he has shared some history and how his thinking has evolved over the years. For anyone interested in this way of being, the new volume resonates. It is, like the first, a keeper.

This book takes me beyond the consideration of wabi sabi as a mode of art. It is a way, being nuanced by Zen masters in tea ceremonies. It is a good exploration of the subject.

Clearly captures and presents the underlying motivations and drivers of a complex and obscure philosophy. Never done, never perfect, never eternal. An excellent travelogue of a dynamic journey.

This excellent book provides much food for thought and creativity. I enjoyed it immensely.

Great book that makes you think about our being, decay of our material word, and our place in this world
