Andrianna Shamaris Wabi-Sabi Teak Wood Container

Description

An unusual shaped wabi box originally used to store rice. Beautiful patina on an old teak wood piece. This box was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It's a beauty of things modest and humble. It's a beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot. Andrianna Shamaris Inc., The Leader In Modern Organic Design.
