I used to live in Japan and so many of my friends tried to explain this concept to me. This makes so much sense and is such a beautiful beautiful way of putting it. It is finally clear to me.

Also makes me wonder if this is why there is so much importance placed upon Hanami. I always loved that time of year, especially in Kansai

The word nostalgia contains the sense of appreciating the temporary nature of life. Nostos is “returning home” i.e. the past and algos is “pain.” Nostalgia is of course not always painful in a literal sense, but brings to the present a sense of deeper appreciation of the moment due to the transitory nature of life.

This is such an important sensitivity to cultivate. Maybe as we age we come to an appreciation of the tenderness and beauty of life even as the blossoms fall and fade to nurture another Spring.

Yes. So wonderful. Not in a negative way but in an aesthetically beautiful way! To be alive , really alive, is to know Mono no Aware. A pause. A non conceptual pause in the direct experience of being. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining this concept.

I learned about this because of Dominic Sessa's interview.

Thank you : )🌸🌸🌸

This was really beautifully explained, thank you.

I found this incredibly interesting and beautiful. This is my first time hearing about Mono no Aware, thank you for explaining so well. Do you have any more examples of movies or literature where we can find Mono no Aware?

Thank you! Glad to hear that! I recommend a movie - Ukigusa (floating weeds) by Yasujiro Ozu -

Beautiful ✨🌷🙏

I did not know of "Mono No Aware", the concept is so deep and meaningful, that I am sure I have felt it, but to find that there is an artistic and applicable philosophy is a revelation. I feel it is no coincidence that "Floating Weeds" is one of my favorite films and Yasujirō Ozu a favorite director also. That film started me on my current exploration of wonderful arts, film and culture. I include the philosophies of Japan in that exploration and I am grateful to you for the knowledge and guidance you share.

Thank you for watching Valerie!

I have always been fascinated by the Japanese deep philosophy in the form of art. Who knows maybe I was once a Japanese in my past life. Thank you

Issa maybe said it nearly best: 苦の娑婆や桜が咲けば咲いたとて

its like the saying "life is fleeting"

Yes, thank you! "Mono no aware" seems to me like the feeling typically created by liminal spaces, specifically anemoia and kenopsia. Besides minimalistic Scandinavia, what other culture could have birthed both the haiku and the koan?
