WABI SABI

hello, girls and boys. today i will explain you the principles of my art. all i do in live and therefore in the arts i am practicing is the principle of WABI and SABI. WABI SABI is not equal to wasabi, the japanese mustard that will burn the hell out of your mouth. these two words describe a principle or a philosophy that is the mother of all japanese art and culture. in our western world this idea is well known but nearly lost in the struggle against modern culture.  " form follows function" ,             " mastership demonstrates itself in simplicity", " IN DER EINFACHHEIT ZEIGT SICH DER MEISTER " , " a brilliant theory - that works in practise ! - is always simple and beautiful " ...these pictures give you an impression what these little two words mean. so what do they mean for my practice? very well, live is short, there are a thousand things to do and thousands to see, and time is the only thing that i can´t buy. so, all that i have to do has to be done in a clear, easy and simple way. no hurry, no helterskelter, no trouble. you will see in the days to come that all my horticultural practice is very much inspired by the japanese culture of the old days of the samurais. for me their mastership in architecture, bonsai, cooking, martial arts, painting and philosophy is unreached and my inspiration. ciao
