: I never heard that "wabi" acronym :) I like it!
: Wabi is a japanese aesthetic concept , properly
: "wabi-sabi" that refers to wear and impermanence. From
: the Wikipedia entry:

: objects interesting, fascinating and beautiful. Fading autumn
: leaves would be an example. Wabi sabi can change our perception
: of our world to the extent that a chip or crack in a vase makes
: it more interesting and give the object greater meditative
: value. Similarly materials that age such as bare wood, paper and
: fabric become more interesting as they exhibit changes that can
: be observed over time."

: Sounds like "patina" to me.....LouS
