Lo Spirito del Giappone (Leonardo Vittorio Arena) / quote 92 of 99

Mono no aware (definizione)

Mono no aware. Diverse accezioni della locuzione in poesia, imparentate o meno con il buddhismo. L’esperienza «Ah», con cui si scopre la natura transeunte dell’universo, grido o sospiro evocatore di lirismo che prende atto degli eventi, specie in tonalità soffuse o lugubri. Designa un mood che ci fa percepire la tristezza del mondo, e che però non inclina alla rassegnazione, bensì infonde vitalità nell’osservatore.
