What exactly is 'Wabi-Sabi'?
After a startled moment during his nap, the answer in Xia Yu's heart became clearer.
Did you see the moss on the stone lantern?
Xia Yu glanced over, with a faint smile on his lips.
That's right, this is 'Wabi-Sabi'!
It's not some incomprehensible aesthetic or profound philosophy.
Simply put, it points directly to the essence of things, the simplicity within.
This kind of essential beauty can withstand the test of time. Just like this stone lantern, covered in moss, becoming more profound, revealing a beauty full of the sense of time.
However!
This is the 'Wabi-Sabi' that appears on objects.
Master Yizhen once said that in the environment of this island country, 'Wabi-Sabi' is everywhere.
In the tea ceremony, it exists.
It also exists within objects and decorations.
So, in cuisine, in the path of culinary arts, how can 'Wabi-Sabi', or in other words, such an original doctrine of food that even reaches an "all-encompassing way," be manifested?
