The aesthetic sense of Japan is based on nature.
We feel that the process of being born and raised in nature and gradually decaying is more beautiful than the brilliant beauty that has been perfected.
It is the “beauty of lack” and “unfinished beauty” that will never be completed.
I feel beauty in that imperfect margin.
People get frustrated and try to fill in the blanks by thinking and imagining.
You may discover something new there.
Just like in life, you won’t find the answers, but you can have fun.
For example, the theme of the tea ceremony in Japan is always to enjoy the space in the margins, such as “wabi and sabi”.
I love coming across gardens like this; they remind me of the sea surrounding granitic islands which are being worn away so slowly that it would take eons to witness the changes.
