Wabi Sabi : Putting more effort into something to make it remarkable.
Wabi as in many, Sabi as in rust.
It requires effort. Rather than effortless of spec. Effortless like a powerlifter; to lift the most amount of weight while minimizing strength loss, effortful like in bodybuilding work; to artfully increase the anabolic signalling with tasteful disadvantages of the workout.

That's Wabi-Sabi!
