Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life
style. In terms of colours, it suggests dark, rich and deep, often with some neutrals and a hint of a dusty accent colour, like the palette of a hydrangea. 11
Jimi (地味)
Literally means 'earth taste' - sober, conservative, unobtrusive. Neutral, beige or dull grey tones. If patterned, a low contrast all-over plain design.
There is a place for elegance in each of these tastes, but they look very different on the surface. They can also be used to describe attitudes.
Where does wabi sabi fit in?
For some time now the term wabi sabi has been used in the West as an adjective to describe a particular taste. It has come to represent a natural, rustic look, which honours imperfection, organic materials, textures and character. In terms of colours, think subtle shades of nature - earth tones, greens, blues, neutrals, greys, rusts. I love objects with characteristics like these. I am drawn to them, and I decorate my home with them. But they are not wabi sabi in the deep sense that we have been discussing.
My guess is that this shift in meaning happened some time ago, when some daring foreigners, intrigued by wabi sabi, sought to get to the heart of the matter. I imagine the kindly Japanese people they asked about it perhaps couldn't find the right words, so instead they pointed to things like a simple bowl, a tea-ceremony room or a withered leaf - things they associate with the experience of wabi sabi, but that are not intrinsically so. As a result, we have come to a curious place where many of us non-Japanese are familiar with wabi sabi as a name for a particular 'look' that celebrates imperfection and the mark of time, rather than appreciating its powerful depths. To avoid confusion, and for want of a single Japanese word, I will use the
term 'wabisabi esque' to describe this particular kind of visual taste (on the
surface), in contrast to the philosophical wabi sabi as an experience of the essence of beauty (in the depths).
