内容説明
With "slow living" as the newest incarnation of the simplicity movement, the search for fresh inspiration on ways to live a more authentic life is as pressing as ever. Turning to Eastern traditions, people are discovering the Japanese concept of WABI SABI. The perfect antidote to today's frenzied, consumer-oriented culture, WABI SABI encourages slowing down, living modestly, and appreciating the natural and imperfect aspect of material culture. While defying definition, WABI SABI is best expressed in brief, evocative bites. In "The Little Wabi Sabi Companion", Diane Durston, a noted writer on Japanese art and culture, presents a collection of reflections, along with classic poetry and verse from both Eastern and Western traditions, that capture the WABI SABI moment, and inspire readers to do the same. The subtle beauty of nature, the simplicity of a found object, the impermanence of an autumnal flower arrangement, the solitude of a single fisherman in his boat are all celebrated and reflected upon in this easily browseable book. The text is complemented by photography and calligraphy inspired by the WABI SABI spirit. This collection of simple, yet profound insights in an irresistible, hold-in-the-hand.

Something real for a change

Readers of this beautiful little book should consider that perhaps this author understands Wabi Sabi better than most of those who have written at length about it. Rather than analyzing it from a Western perspective, Diane Durston uses quotes from many famous Japanese authorities on art. literature and the tea ceremony, as well as from Western authors to convey a feeling that even Japanese refuse to try to define. The many quietly elegant photographs also make this point. Wabi sabi is a mood, an atmosphere, an experience, and in the author's own passages, which she has clearly written from the heart, she evokes a clearer sense of this abstract idea than any other "gaijin" book I have read on this subject.

A different opinion

I did spot this book while waiting in line at the bookstore. And later went back and bought a second copy for a friend. Yes, it is a little light and cutsey. And it does contain western quotes. Who says Zen masters have lock on the idea of Wabi Sabi? Aren't antiques valued for their patinas? Don't Quaker and Shaker beliefs tout simplicity? I think this little book is a good bridge for Westerners to help them understand the ideas behind Wabi Sabi. I believe that Wabi Sabi is an idea which should expand throughout many cultures, not be tightly bound to just one. And, oh yes, I have read Leonard Koren's Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers. Hummm....he doesn't sound Japanese to me.

One of my favorite Wabi Sabi books

I've had this book for years, along with pretty much all the other Wabi Sabi books out there and this is one of my favorites.
I think what makes it so are the author's stories. They invoke a feeling of the "essence of Japan" for me. I could never find a term to describe this "essence" until I found Wabi Sabi.
I don't claim to be a Wabi Sabi expert. But, I am half-Japanese and have been to Japan, where I first discovered Wabi Sabi before I had a name for it.
This book will not be everyone's cup of tea but for me it is always close by.
