Introduction 33 April 2023

Wabi-Sabi was established during the Edo Period in Japan. The Philosophy was adopted by the mainstream culture for multiple Reasons. I recommend you personally re-awaken your inner Curiosity and Recover the Treasuries of the Past.

Even so, I will try my best to compress the Historical, Cultural, Economical, Environmental, Political and Philosophical Reasons of the adoption and formation of the Wabi-Sabi Philosophy into the world of Japan and with Time to the rest of the World.

For the Truth is that no Blog can deliver that solid Understanding that of a Book and no Book that Deep Understanding that of History / Time.

History

Japan during this time had to address a changing Country / People in a changing World The Motto of History. So say we All

Historically Japan has always been conservative towards its Natural Resources. As a Continent of Limited Space and Natural Resources.

Know this my Fellow Citizen when Thou reads Limited don't mistake it for a lack of Quality.

Each has their Place and Value.

So the concept of Wabi-Sabi addressed Environmental Concerns through a Cultural value of Less is more through valuing, what you do have but Including and Accepting Time, Age and Death

Which nurtures a Practice of Patience and Local Support for the Community or one could even say that all that was done was a re-channeling of what was already there.

Which most certainly is Truer than I partly.

The Truth is that the philosophy of the Collective had a sense of Unity that Embraced Time which allow the Continent the Develop in a Balanced way. As it Gifted Time and Support to Local Business over the more Skilled and Cheaper products from China.

True Education / Skill = Time + Curiosity + Resources + Support + Patience + Love

The philosophy was also accepted due most likely to not staying to far from it's eastern philosophy Roots to the Dao

There can be no existence without non-existence.

No difficult without easy

No long without short

No high without low

And without the sounds of musical instruments and human voices, where would their harmony - and cacophony - be?

- Dao De Jing

So simply change peoples relationship with Time / Death and before Thou eyes the Impossible will become Possible.

Nothing lasts

Nothing is finished

Nothing is perfect

Wabi Sabi

A way of living that focuses on finding beauty with the Imperfection and Impermanence of life.

A way of life that appreciates and accepts complexity while at the same time values simplicity.

Discourse

Grab a plate and throw it on the ground

- Okay, done

Did it break?

-Yes

Now say sorry to it

- Sorry

Did it go back to the way it was before?

- No

Do you understand?

...

Listen closely for Truth whispers, To Know is not to Understand.
