What is Komorebi?
Komorebi(木漏れ日) means the sunbeams leaking from woods and leaves.
Take a look at the photo. The space between leaves makes lens and the sunbeams cast themselves in circle on the shadow. I’ve heard we can’t find such a word in any other languages but I’m sure you can understand our aesthetic sense.
Not a shadow. The sunbeams on the shadow, right?
When we go out to admire flowers, autumn leaves, gardens, and other things, we always pay attention to Komorebi without consciousness. For example, when we see autumn leaves, we also see it as a part of the scenery.
In this photo, you can enjoy Komorebi, Mizukagami, and the autumn leaves at the same time. Besides, we feel the warmth with it. We prefer a scenery like this.
On the contrary, we feel something refreshing with it.
I suppose we, including Shika-san, want to feel we also a part of nature or universe.
With trees, you can find Komoebi in any places in the planet. Just enjoy them as we do. 合掌
