| Wabi "The meaning of wabi"
Traditional Japanese products have a special quality
about them that attracts the viewer on both a conscious and sub
conscious level. This magnetic appeal is both sensual and spiritual,
and therefore affects, at least to some degree, people who have
had no training at all in aesthetics and are not known for their
sensitivity to beauty.
Part of the sensual spiritual appeal that has traditionally
been built into Japanese homes and products of all kinds is bound
up in the word "wabi" which translates as "quiet of tranquil" with a strong connotation on refined simplicity. One of the most
important words in the aesthetic vocabulary of the Japanese, wabi
is an essential element in everything Japanese-whether a scene,
a shape, size, accessory, decoration, tool, utensil, or whatever,
and Japanese know instantly if an object has the wabi look.
You will feel the wabi aesthetic in everything
when visiting sushi wabi. It's in the music, the room design, the
lighting, the service, and in the artfully prepared sushi. Sushi
Wabi is proud of its non-materialistic and simple approach in the
dining experience.
