Wabi-Sabi definition within incomplete enso ring 6 Cm Round Badge

A design that offers a tentative definition of "wabi-sabi" and its esthetic. In traditional Japanese esthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The esthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, suffering, and emptiness or absence of self-nature. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi esthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. Inspired by the Enso ring, also referred to as a Zen Circle, the definition is framed by a circular form that is drawn to express the completeness or the emptiness of the present moment. The circle here is incomplete, allowing for movement and development as well as the perfection of all things. Zen practitioners relate the idea to wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection.
