Mono no aware, or the pathos of things, is one of the key concepts in Japanese culture. It is an appreciation of the ephemeral nature of life, which is constantly changing, never returning to the same condition.　#kenmogi

I know I'm pretty late on this, seeing as this video is a little older but I want you to know that this video was really helpful. I actually really liked how you explained this, almost like a professor at my college. I appreciate you taking the time to bring this interesting insight into Japanese culture to the rest of the world. Thank you.

That's very cool man. Very lovely ty for explaining. I got here from an ambient track by William Basinski & Lawrence English called Mono No Aware haha. I do recommend it; it certainly helps me to appreciate the present moment more. Good day!

誰一人として、つかの間の人生から逃れることはできない、しかし、そこにこそ、永遠を感じる感性の働きをささえる、世の中の絶え間ない移ろいと現実が与える永遠の感得があるので、これは、不思議だ。対立すり一瞬こそが永遠とおもわせるものを、当たり前に愛でるこころ、愛にても友情にても。桜がふるように、雪がふり、また桜が降るように。それが、もののあわれである。

Beautiful video and explanation. When you mentioned how a same person is never the same as time changes and they become a different person, it reminds me of Heraclitus’s “you never step into the same river twice.” It’s interesting to hear that “eternity” is something that is absent in the Japanese culture. Do you have any good philosophical books or texts that dive deeper into the subject of mono no aware?

Thank you for your clear explanation Ken. Is there a way I could talk to you sometime? I’m developing my B.A graduation project and it involves mono no aware. Chatting with you would be really helpful if you don’t mind and are interested. Hope you are ok and thanks again!

Cool but why isn’t it spelled もののあわれ

@naidb3167 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I was (and am) still confused about that, but I'm thinking perhaps he wrote it phonetically/syllabically but I'm still tryna figure out why it's written 物の哀れ, whether that's because it combines both hiragana and katakana? lmk if you know the answer lmao

@naidb3167 3 жыл бұрын

Oh ok looking at other comments, it confirmed my other theory that 物の哀れ is kanji, but the way he wrote it is apparently easier for beginners (which is true according to other research I did, kanji is more complicated?) but I can't say I'm 100% coz I'm literally just starting lmao so yeah

@lifesoldier 2 жыл бұрын

its just the way the words "thing" and "pathos" are written. not sure about the 哀れ part, but i know 物 is the same as もの, の is like a connector, like saying "of or belonging to" basically, and 哀れ probably means pathos in this context but i wouldn't know what it means on its own

@PutPasswordHerePPH 2 жыл бұрын

Eng / Kanji / Kana (mono = 物 = もの) (no = の) (awa = 哀 = あわ) (re = れ) (は = ha), but is read as (wa/わ) when it's a particle. Unless there's an exception I'm unaware, think Ken just made a mistake.

@fumi3679 2 жыл бұрын

In historical kana orthography, "あわれ" was written as "あはれ". So, his spelling is right. Since "もののあはれ" is especially the feature of the Heian era literature, it is often spelt in old kana orthography.

@TheFlightcrank 4 жыл бұрын

Hm, and what does the spelling 物の哀れ mean?

@sbman3235 4 жыл бұрын

Good question! I'd love to know the difference (if there is any) as well.

@thestarfromyugioh 3 жыл бұрын

The only difference is how the term is written, with Kanji being more distinct. Otherwise, they have the same meaning. (lit. "the pathos of things")

@HylianDan 3 жыл бұрын

That’s the Kanji spelling, the whiteboard shows the Kana spelling (the syllables are spelled out mo-no-no-a-wa-re rather than hidden within Kanji glyphs). Kana spellings are easier to read for new learners.
