Komorebi
Epistemic status: Simple definition.
Komorebi (木漏れ日) is formed from the following japanese words:
- 木 for “tree”
- 漏れ for “to leak”
- 日 for “sun”
It translates to “sunlight leaking through tress” and is meant to describe the fleeting, unique beauty of the interplay of sun and trees that causes a shimmering of light and shadows that only exists at that moment.
It invites one to stop and notice. To appreciate the beauty in the seemingly mundane, everyday occurances.
