Cool Japan S2013E21 - Wabi-Sabi

Many foreigners would agree wabi-sabi to be the king of Japanese cool! In what things do foreigners sense wabi-sabi? Some mentioned a stone garden and pottery, and some even the most unexpected things! The wabi-sabis our foreign guest discovered through strolling down Yanaka were things like protruded trees and stone statues on the roadside. The German temple master of a Zen temple was pursuing ascetic training with his disciples aiming to reach the height of wabi-sabi. This program will feature wabi-sabi anew through the eyes of foreigners.
