Beauty of everyday things

The Japanese philosopher and aesthete's definitive exposition of his philosophy of folkcrafts, setting out the hallmarks of Japanese design as we know it today - anonymity, quality, simplicity - and, of course, wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection. In an age of feeble machine-made things, this now-classic book is a call for us to deepen our relationship with the objects that surround us.
