When I first encountered the term wabi sabi, I realized that, in a number of ways, I'd been thinking along similar lines for a long time; stretching back to my senior year in highschool, where I read Henry David Thoreau's book Walden. There was a kind of wabi sabi outlook in his own philosophy. In one way or another, it's very much shaped my lifestyle choices, and career choices ever since. This outlook runs counter to the modern society that is constantly pressuring us to never be satisfied, and always seeking the perishable, the transient, the (ultimately) disappointing quality of the very things we're told can fulfill us. Wabi sabi is a more realistic and sustainable attitude.
You should watch “The Ballad of Narayama”, an award winning film depicting what you implied “the Japanese culture of abandoning and neglecting their elders.”

Funny that the same culture that loves and respects old worn objects also abandons and neglects their elders !
I don't think that's true
The Japanese people respect their elders.
Yes, there is some people take their old one to a forest and abandon them there. You can browsing the internet for this fenomena.
