Description
Wabi Sabi is sweet brown kitty looking to learn the mysterious meaning of her name. She goes on a journey and finally meets a wise monkey who helps her understand. She arrived home tired but glad to know that her name is not just a name. Visually, this book is a work of art! The author has created collages from natural and man-made materials and photographed them. The book is square, but opens vertically, the result being an interesting experience for the reader. It's a thinker. The minimalism of the haikus and the artful collages are just serene and lovely with a definite hand-made look. Hc, 11" x 11", 34pp. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Wabi Sabi
Wabi Sabi, a little cat in Kyoto, Japan, had never thought much about her name until friends visiting from another land asked her owner what it meant. At last, the master Says, "That's hard to explain." And That is all she says. This unsatisfying answer sets Wabi Sabi on a journey to uncover the meaning of her name, and on the way discovers what wabi sabi is: a Japanese philosophy of seeing beauty in simplicity, the ordinary, and the imperfect.
Using spare text and haiku, Mark Reibstein weaves an extraordinary story about finding real beauty in unexpected places. Caldecott Medal-winning artist Ed Young complements the lyrical text with breathtaking collages. Together, they illustrate the unique world view that is wabi sabi.
