"I have since come to believe that wabi-sabi is related to many of the more emphatic anti-aesthetics that invariably spring from the young, modern, creative soul: beat, punk, grunge, or whatever it's called next." In this book, artist and writer Leonard Koren introduces the concept of the Japanese tradition of wabi-sabi: the beauty of incomplete, imperfect, impermanent things. Readers and writers interested in a new perspective on artistic practice will find inspiration in Koren's application of wabi-sabi to contemporary, Western approaches to the creative process, and the focus on transcending conventional ways of observation.
