Can you feel beauty underlying aging in daily life Many travelers, either who come from domestic and abroad area, go to Kyoto, and they enjoy the atmosphere of old Japan from such as old temples, gardens covered by moss, tea ceremony, and cracked but elegant pottery. They have known there is ethical concept Wabi (侘び) and Sabi(寂び) behind such masterpieces. Wabi-Sabi is a concept that feels beauty in something imperfect, deserted, ruined, and aging. Can we feel Wabi-Sabi after the magic of Kyoto has disappeared when you go back to your daily life? When we have ruined something, we may not always feel it beautiful. For instance, now there are wilted flowers in a glass base on my desk. The leaves turned yellow and somewhere brown, and the petals dropped. It is not likely to be dry flowers, and will just go bad. I try to throw away, but still, let it be. Indeed, I didn't think the wilted flowers beautiful. I try to imagine that the wilted flowers on my table teleport to the Kyoto old temple, arranged in an elegant base. I may think, "Umm, it represents the transience of life". Actually, flower arrangement for tea ceremony, sometimes dead branches are used. It may be difficult to feel the beauty of Wabi-Sabi in daily life, but it might come true if there is the preparation of mind or devices (such as elegant base, interior with a good atmosphere). Enjoy your small Kyoto in your daily life.
