Transcendence (by James Thornbrook)

Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic 
centered on the acceptance of imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes
described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.

If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene 
melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be 
wabi-sabi.
