About the name, EcoWabi

'Wabi-Sabi,' is an old traditional Japanese word to express a Japanese view of beauty, embracing simplicity and modesty.*

The founder of EcoWabi, Seiko, was born and raised in Nagoya, Japan – now she lives in Chicago, IL. She wanted the name to be a mixture of a Japanese and the word, “eco.” EcoWabi seemed to be the right name for the mission of the website: to provide people with simple eco ideas to enhance their green lifestyles.

*Wabi-Sabi is a word which is very subtle and complicated to explain with words. But, if you wish to find out more about the meaning, please search on Internet/wikipedia by “Wabi-Sabi.”
