A Wabi-Sabi bathroom features a patinated copper tub on a rough clay base beneath a wall-mounted spout trickling water. Weathered limestone slabs and a shallow floor channel lead to limewashed plaster walls marked by stains and a hand-painted wave. A live-edge wood ledge runs below fogged windows—one a shoji screen, the other showing bamboo outside—while a small ceramic lantern glows in a wall niche, casting warm light.
