wabi
Wabi actually implies "poverty." Its implied meaning isn’t negative, despite what an English rendering might suggest. Wabi hints at the elemental sereneness of a gentle springtime rain tapping on the roof of a rustic lodge. It transforms intellectual entanglement as well as all forms of self-regard and affectation, to unearth the unadorned truth of nature, which underlies the variety of relative phenomenon. Since nature is asymmetrical, spasmodic, even "imperfect", wabi is the purity of natural imperfection.
