Finding beauty in imperfection: originally, it is a Japanese aesthetic concept dating back to the 15th century , derived from Zen Buddhism. At its peak in the tea ceremony, it has become an art of living that permeates an entire culture that is still very much alive, for example through kintsugi .
His key words: simplicity, inversion of values, respect for nature, and above all, acceptance of the impermanence of all things. The result is objects of modest beauty, nestled in the details, magnifying the marks of time, chance, and bad weather. Not just objects: an art of seeing the beauty of the world and of being beyond an illusory perfection.
