The Beauty of Everyday Things
Author: Soetsu Yanagi
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241366364
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.

Pages : 142
Book Description
Learn How to Enjoy the Beauty of Imperfection and Live a Wabi-Sabi Lifestyle! Do you want to live in harmony with nature? Are you fascinated with the simplicity and beauty of Japanese aesthetics? IF YES, READ ON! THIS BOOK GIVES A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF THE JAPANESE CONCEPT OF WABI-SABI! Wabi-sabi doesn't have a direct translation. But in traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi could be described as finding beauty in things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. This concept is derived from Buddhist teachings. It describes a life of simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of nature's ingenuity. Wabi-sabi aesthetic is best represented in the Japanese tea ceremonies. "Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect." In a way, wabi-sabi is a material representation of Buddhism. As such, it can be applied in all life spheres, to help you become more mindful and aware of the present moment. Being surrounded by objects that are changing with time helps us stay grounded. And if we notice some cracks, we're just reminded of impermanence. This book will teach you: The history and concept of wabi-sabi What objects and environments embody wabi-sabi Wabi-sabi as a way of life How to find perfect love using wabi-sabi Daily Inspiration for the soul The art of imperfection and freedom of form Wabi-sabi and the Japanese character 10 steps for achieving a wabi-sabi style Even if you're not Japanese or Buddhist, you can still enjoy the beauty and serenity of a wabi-sabi lifestyle. After all, imperfection and impermanence describe the very nature of our existence. Embracing them as friends will lead to a happier life. Ready to learn about wabi-sabi?
