First off, What is Wabi-Sabi?
Wabi-sabi is a part of Japanese Aesthetics and philosophy that focuses on the appreciation of imperfection and impermanence. Although wabi-sabi has become a way of looking at life, you can create a wabi-sabi home and also a wabi-sabi garden
Japanese Garden Inspiration in Roji Tea Gardens:
With wabi-sabi being an appreciation of imperfection and a respect for originality and authenticity, this leads us to a garden Style that can also adhere to these principles. The first place to start for examples of this is in the traditional Japanese garden style of Tea Gardens, or Roji. As Rikyu is credited with developing the wabi-sabi philosophy through the tea ceremony, an extension of that can be seen in his Japanese garden styles relating to the hermitage and the roji tea garden…

Wonderful vid! Lots of inspiration. Thanks for sharing! Take care 😀👍
I love these instructional videos of yours!
The picture pans are a bit jerky though. My eyes get tired.
But man this is some good advice and very instructional. Thanks!
Thank you for these videos. I’m so very thankful I found them! Or that they found me. So be it….
I love videos like this that are more about concepts and philosophies behind the creations. Teach how to think or see in order for us to create something for ourselves.
Thank you for sharing this information… you speak at a nice gentle speed so its easier to absorb the information…🥰💖

Nice work. I think I'm turning Japanese
Very insightful video, thank you. I have always described my shade garden as wabi-sabi and have used many of the elements and design philosophies you discussed. One "trick" I have employed is to intentionally grow trees into and around steel objects such as old steel wheels, plow discs, other agricultural relics, etc. It gives a sense of the passage of time and decay; a melding of the natural and man made environment. Choose fast growing tough species such as maples or poplars, ideally that are already growing wild in the landscape. The effect takes time, but can be very stunning. I suggest utilizing in moderation. For me I do not want to see two such trees from any vantage point. It is for me the sense of age that really gives a "wabi-sabi garden" the correct feeling.
Mucho habla.
