Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers

De: Leonard Koren

Narrado por: Brian Richy

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.

Wabi-sabi is the quintessential Japanese aesthetic. It is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional....©2020 Upfront Books

beautiful petite book

this book is a breath of fresh air. it has ASMR like qualities to it.

Useful for greater understanding, with some poetic moments

I generally enjoyed this book, and learned more about the nuance of wabi-sabi, and Japanese culture more generally.

I do wish a PDF of the photographs was included. It was a bit frustrating to hear descriptions but not see them.

MEDITATIVE + A CELEBRATION

The book has many stand alone moments which remain in the mind long after the words have been read, like wabi sabi. I am in awe with the transformation and dedication and place in time this book takes.

short and good

excellent narration. short and sweet little book. nice photos in the printed copy. and audio is free. listen meow!

A fast classic I return to often

A wonderful little book I discovered when it was first published, have enjoyed reading, re-reading and gifting to many people. Thrilled that it was also here on Audible, I listen to this often, a nice little one day listen, to re-inspire my Wabi Sabi frame of Mind. Excellent for any artist, poet or philosopher but equally valuable to all people.
