Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.78,0:07:21.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dents and nicks and duvets and it was narrow at one
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.73,0:07:26.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,end as if -- it just that is where the tree narrowed.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.53,0:07:30.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was sitting there, absentmindedly, running my fingers
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.63,0:07:34.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over one of the holes in the wood when the grandmother

Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.51,0:08:22.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Within a few moments, Myoko walked in the room,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.77,0:08:27.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,along with her grandfather and then the three of them took turns telling me
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.18,0:08:30.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their version of what Wabi Sabi means.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.37,0:08:32.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,According to the grandfather,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:32.23,0:08:37.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Wabi Sabi is the most essential of all Japanese principles.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.61,0:08:39.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Wabi Sabi states that the beauty of
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.59,0:08:45.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,any object lies in the flaws of that object.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.06,0:08:56.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Things such as mistakes and damages, or -- ruined parts,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.02,0:08:59.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those are actually designed in.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:59.48,0:09:03.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The grandmother said that beauty is a study in contrasts,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:03.61,0:09:06.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so something can only be seen to embody perfection,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.86,0:09:11.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if it also embodies a correlate degree of imperfection.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.15,0:09:18.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had to get out of there. I gathered up all my junk

Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.30,0:09:24.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wondered --
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.95,0:09:31.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Did this mean that Wabi Sabi could even apply to me?"
Dialogue: 0,0:09:31.33,0:09:35.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Naagh. I kept walking.
