Interesting, never realized it was an acronym.

I've always equated 'wabi' with patina, in a good sense.

Isn't wabi a Japanese term? Perfect imperfection?

"Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete'. "

Have you ever noticed that many Japanese models intentionally have very imperfect teeth? That's wabi. Well, and also Cindy Crawford's mole.
