Le goût pour les choses vieillies, pour la salissure, etc. Le wabi fait référence à la plénitude et la modestie que l'on peut éprouver face aux phénomènes naturels, et le sabi, la sensation face aux choses dans lesquelles on peut déceler le travail du temps ou des hommes.

The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū). Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
