Traveling with wabi-sabi: why the imperfect object is the most authentic souvenir

The perfect souvenir does not exist, and that is not bad news. The Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi teaches that imperfection is the most reliable certificate of authenticity: the trace left by the hand, the time, and the passion the artisan has poured into the object. From the markets of Fès to the ateliers of Kyoto, here is a compass for those who travel and choose what no machine will ever replicate.

The olive tree has been present throughout history in the Mediterranean region. It is a symbol of peace and camaraderie. This accessory has similar characteristics to Ghisanativa; it is reliable, durable, and healthy. And olive wood is certainly the best material for every kitchen. Did you know that olive wood is hygroscopic? In fact, it has a remarkable affinity with water. This harmonious phenomenon is the exchange (accumulation and transfer) of humidity by means of absorption and desorption mechanisms. It is therefore easy to wash and leaves no food odours from the previous use. Occasionally, however, feed it with seed oil.
