Abstract
An increasing number of boutiques that sell fashion-oriented brands have emerged across Taiwan in recent years as people have begun to place priority on living standards and life quality. It is an obvious phenomenon that Japanese merchandise occupies a large portion of these shops. The Japanese style, very unlike Baroque style, is noted for a sense of easiness and simplicity, with a touch of sophistication in its spare perfection. This study explores the aesthetics of nature unique to everyday objects from the cultural context in Japan. We specifically use wabi-sabi, an ancient aesthetic philosophy, to expound on the relationship between nature and beauty and delve into an understanding of aesthetics of nature. According to literature review and research results of the products, we have concluded with four principles: simplicity, being in accord with nature, truthfulness, and incompleteness, which can further be divided into ten representations. It is our hope that this can serve as a useful reference for product design in the future.
