In Search of Wabi Sabi with Marcel Theroux

If you understand "wabi sabi", the Japanese say, then you will understand Japan and
the Japanese, yet they have immense difficulty explaining the concept themselves.

In this film, Marcel Theroux travels across Japan in an attempt to discover the beauty
of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete – the literal meaning of "wabi sabi".

In a challenging, funny, frustrating and ultimately rewarding journey, Marcel seeks to
solve the riddle. In his quest to find out more, he immerses himself in three very
different lifestyles.

From living with a local family in Tokyo; to sampling "wabi sabi" objects and
practices in the old capital, Kyoto; and training in a remote Buddhist Zen Monastery
on an Eastern Japanese mountain, Marcel comes to understand that it is a concept that
must be experienced and felt rather than defined in words.
