'Wabi-sabi' is a concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics constituting a worldview centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".

While "defining wabi sabi in physical terms is like explaining the taste of a piece of chocolate by its shape and color." (Wong & Hirano) the characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. Perfection is found in the imperfections.
