Difference from Wabi-Sabi: No Imperfection

A rough but intact rustic interior. Wabi-sabi pursues imperfection and the erosion of time: cracks, peeling, kintsugi repairs, weathered surfaces. Here, there is none of that: wood has rough saw marks but no decay or cracks, concrete has formwork textures but no cracks or water seepage, every stone in the stone wall is complete. Roughness is the result of processing methods, not damage. Avoid: adding cracks, peeling, and weathered marks, using damaged and repaired materials, making surfaces look decayed and worm-eaten, pursuing the beauty of time's erosion.

一個粗獷但完好的質樸室內。侘寂追求殘缺與時間的侵蝕:裂痕、剝落、修補的金繼、風化的表面。這裡完全沒有:木材有粗糙的鋸痕但沒有腐朽與裂開、混凝土有板模的紋理但沒有裂縫與滲水、石牆的每一塊都完整。粗糙是加工方式的結果,不是損壞的結果。避免:加入裂痕、剝落與風化的痕跡、使用有破損與修補的材料、把表面做成腐朽與蟲蛀的樣子、追求時間侵蝕的美感。
