I watched 'In search of Wabi-Sabi' on Monday... can there not be a English programme about Japan that ends up at a Maid Cafe or another form of the Japanese 'ultra wierd' / 'porn' industry?!
(OK, Maid Cafe's are not porn, but the majority of the people inside are male, and are there to get female attention.)
It was an interesting program. If somebody asked what Wabi Sabi are, I wouldn't be able to explain!! One young guy said it is in our heart. I think he expressed it very well there. I totally agree. Quite shocking to see the Maid Cafe though!
PA: Exactly... The programme would have been so much better with that part cut out :( Ah well... I'm looking forward to the 'The Story of Love & Hate' on March 30th. ;)
Ukmari: I think its hard to explain Wabi-sabi. I don't think its something which has a clear definition, 'Wabisabi is.....'. Its more complex than that. I looked in my Japanese dictionary, and it doesnt have Wabisabi listed... why!? :( (Maybe a poor dictionary...)

Haha, I thought the same thing. He wasn't going to find wabi sabi in there was he! I liked the final parts though in Kyoto and the Zen temple.
