Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets &… di Leonard Koren
Now that I've decided to try to 'review' each book that I have cataloged, there will be books( like this one) where I may recall reading it some years ago, may or may not remember how or why I liked it, but still can recall only a few or maybe no details about the experience.
In a very well done package (good design, good illustrations, good paper), a satisfactory brief introduction to a field of thought and practice which deserves to be known. An aesthetics of the ordinary, unfinished, simple and natural - and meaningful. To be read and re-read, while trying to figuring out traces of wabi-sabi in the everyday life.
Beautiful book on Japanese design. It shows many types of craft with pictures and discussion. The section o fabric covers clothing, traditional and contemporary, rugs and furniture, furoshiki, kumihimo braids, and even sandals.
My second reading!
I started the book, read a chapter and put it away for the night. Then, last night I read another chapter, and woke up in the middle of the night to read some more.
Finally, I woke up early morning to finish it
While I read it fast, it is a delightfully captivating work. It is one that speaks to the soul, and is one that is very relevant to todays times. When we are all chasing shiny 'perfection', a little bit of dirt, imperfection, nature allows us to feel the spirit of nature and of art.
Timely indeed. Leaves much room for thought and reflection.
And, it is pithy. You cannot gabble on about such concepts. They are truly to be internalised.… (altro)
