I was just doing my Japanese homework when I discovered another testimony to why I love the culture that much.komorebi (木漏れ日) is the word in japanese meaning "sunbeam streaming through trees."
The image above was found by typing that word in Google Japan's image search. There is a whole array of "sunbeam streaming through trees" images... I can not for the life of me imagine what single keyword to use for an equivalent english search.
How can you not love such a lyrically rich language?

how enlightening schteve! you should put up some japanese words and challenge us to make a sentence out of THEM!
e.g: Amidst the 'komorebi' the warrior stalked his prey...Another person will meet the fate of 'tsujigiri'...
After the blood is shed, the mighty warrior strides home to end his eventful day with a session of 'masukagami'...
