"In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū)." Wikipedia

Beauty as symmetry, as perfection, as ideal is a Greek conception, which became predominant in Western Culture.

It has to be.... perfect things cannot be improved... however, that's not how life works, there is always room for improvement, therefore perfection doesn't really exist

My view also is that imperfection IS beautiful, but beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder, and so is perfection i would hunch. LOL

There are no perfect trees in the forest, but it is still beautiful.
