Wabi Sabi aesthetics has been described as the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. The beauty of things modest and humble. The beauty of things unconventional... this beauty was also expressed in words from the west:

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There's a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

(Leonard Cohen)
