The Wabi-Sabi Benz Start in 2026
I wrestled with myself for a long time over whether to keep running this blog, and decided to document my project here, which was originally planned to last six months. After all, I’d already just about reached the first milestone after three months.

With that in mind.

Perfection is a polished collection of mistakes.
