Do you ever get that melancholy sense of dépaysement when you’re traveling far from home? Does the lambent glow of Autumn kindle the wonder of komorebi for you ? Or, does it encourage you to seek the sublime feeling of Waldeinsamkeit ?
Artist Ella Frances Sanders has cleverly illustrated some of these marvelous but elusive words which have no single equivalent in English. See how many you can slip into your conversations today. Maybe during a pleasant sobremesa session. But mind that culaccino.

The illustrations are brilliant! Why is English such a dumb ass language? (but I love it!)
Komorebi is me, but I’m very familiar with jayus. 🙂
I’m having some serious word envy! The illustrations are lovely too.
I heard there is a word in Japanese for the type of melancholy that you feel when it’s raining outside. I wonder if there’s a word for being jealous of other languages 🙂
