Komorebi is a word of Japanese dialect referring to when sunlight shines through the leaves of trees, creating a beam of dancing light cascading down. I personally find this term very beautiful, and gives me a calming sense of peacefulness when thinking about it. I remember experiencing this when going on a hike nearby the Koolau Golf Course. It was very nice to look at, like a ray of light just shining down, lonely in stature. Instead of incorporating the word into my daily vocabulary, I could use it as an aesthetic example of describing something related to nature, or use in in my Japanese class as an expression or reference to the phenomenon.
