Le Wabi est un concept japonais qui découle de la simplicité et de l'authenticité et dont la beauté réside dans l'imperfection.
Raffinement, noblesse sans sophistication, intemporalité et utilisation de matériaux naturels définissent la façon dont Axel Vervoordt se l'est approprié. Dans ce livre, il a choisi d'entraîner ses lecteurs sur la voie de la sérénité en montrant ses réalisations d'esprit Wabi et le chemin qui l'a mené à cette nouvelle inspiration. Les photographies de Laziz Hamani permettent de ressentir la beauté de ces lieux et de plonger dans l'atmosphère Wabi.
