Ever heard of KOMOREBI (木漏れ日) ? It’s one of those magical Japanese words that paint a vivid picture in just a few syllables. Imagine sunlight filtered through the leaves of the trees, those beautiful visible light rays that dance on the ground. The magical play of shadow and sparkling if effervescent light.

That’s KOMOREBI { 木漏れ日 } for you.

Let’s break it down:

• Ko means tree or trees.

• More means something that comes through, shines through, or seeps through.

• Bi means sun or sunlight.

Together, KOMOREBI perfectly captures the romantic and emotional love the Japanese have for nature.
