Japanese Minimalism in Home Design: wabi-sabi, ma, shizen, fusuma, shibui, ichigo ichie

The author's journey into Japanese design philosophy began with the concept of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection and the natural cycle of growth and decay. This perspective transformed their approach to home design, shifting from a pursuit of perfection to appreciating asymmetry, natural wear, and history in objects. They also explored Japanese minimalism (ma), focusing on creating intentional spaces that allow objects to breathe, and shizen, which emphasizes naturalness in materials and layouts. The principles of shibui and ichigo ichie further influenced them, encouraging simplicity, subtle beauty, and mindfulness in daily living. Ultimately, these design principles fostered a deeper appreciation for quality, impermanence, and a more mindful, contented way of life.

Lets say it straight: wabi-sabi is just "absence of hobbies, friends in your house, parties, neighbours visits, and even more, the absence of fresh ideas and freedom in general". Wabi sabi is when REAL LIFE is substituted by emptiness. And please dont pronounce japanese words randomly, just for some linguistic "beauty". It is a nonsense. each word DO HAVE translation. And also ideas "are applied" NOT to the objects ;)))) (well.. unless you have ONLY objects in your life).
