Japanese sense of beauty

[@RoboZombieUnicorn]

There are so many videos of foreign people's perspective of Japan. It's very nice to have someone who is from Japan's insight on the country and culture. I feel you are very informative, and I learn so much I didn't know. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing with us!

[@2HootHoot]

"sense of the beauties" lol adorable!

[@CraxyLady88]

It's pleasure to watch your videos because your personality is so warm and nice. Thank you for the video and I'm looking forward to the next one :)

[@marijapetrovic3524]

This is so beautiful, you almost made me cry... I chose the bottom right picture and when you talked about really understanding the beauty I was so thrilled and speechless.. and one more thing YOU ARE truly *beautiful*, I just love this video. ^_^

[@komori841]

Marija Petrovic Thank you so much. This could be one of the best comment I got ever. You made me cry too (TT)

[@MisterPizziola]

I think you are very beautiful. From watching some of your videos I can say I learner more than I knew about Japan and Japanese culture. Keep up the great work Komori!

[@LittleFishyFishies]

Komori - You are SO COOL, SO awesome, SO BEAUTIFUL, you are seriously a hero of mine for your outgoing and special personality! I love you! You are a joy to look forward to with every video! You keep up this amazing channel- we all learn and get so much out of it!! THANK YOU for being YOU!!!

[@roselover411]

I really enjoy your videos, they're very helpful to me and I'm happy to listen to your explanations of Japanese concepts and behaviors. I'm planning to study abroad in Japan next semester, so all the things I've seen in your videos have actually been of great use to me to keep in mind when I go over there. Thanks so much for your videos!

[@TheNny001]

Your videos are so interesting, thank you so much for sharing your culture with us!

[@Ersa0431]

Thank you for another wonderful video! I love learning new Japanese words from you.

[@wlt5526]

I feel every picture is beautiful own it's own. A blossom flower should compares with a blossom flower. I understand this presentation is for the general guide to the points you have generously shared. Thank you for sharing. Appreciate it beautiful⚘⚘⚘

[@rashid211378695]

Wow cool information from one of itself a beautiful of all beauty thanks of sharing helpful information

[@mahe78]

I thought the unopened pink one was prettier... simply because it has the potential to become beautiful. I'm more attracted to things that have the potential to be great. Like i will see houses that are run down and wish i had the money to restore them because I can just see how gorgeous their potential is.... And flowers... Closed flowers are lovely to me because I know the eventual beauties they will become... it is anticipation that makes things more exciting and beautiful to me.

[@nguyenhoanglong3]

This is the most interesting and the nicest description of Japanese sense of beauty. Thanks for the great videos.

[@The_Great_White_Moose]

Another great video! I love learning more about Japanese culture. Keep up the good work!

[@conardcox]

Thank you for sharing your insights. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. It seem to me you have a natural gift for this. I agree that culture strongly affects individual aesthetic preferences. So it's interesting to see things through Japanese eyes. I hope the many positive comments here encourage you to continue making these really wonderful videos.

[@Cass0emoheart]

I'm not japanese, but selected the flower that was about to blossom.

[@wenzelbechinie3986]

First of all I would like to thank you for your time and energy telling us about Japan. I really enjoy your uploads and the way you explain things. Talking about flowers.... I am from the Netherlands and many flowers are being exported from here each year. Here we can give flowers to women for many reasons, but how is it in Japan? Could you give flowers to a woman as a sign of appreciation (for showing you her town)? What kind of flowers can you give? About to blossom or already blossoming? :-)

[@Bouncing1c]

I love your subject and your channel. Thank you for making all of your videos. :)

[@myfatsushi]

I really liked this video! Clicked on it thinking it'd be more casual and just silly information, but I was pleasantly surprised to see this being discussed from a mature standpoint and almost a cultural psychological standpoint. :)

[@SoundInWhisper]

I simply love your videos. They're so informative and full of interesting facts about Japan. And you're really lovely. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and I hope you'll keep uploading videos! ^^

[@Msfresaconcrema]

I loved the topic you chose to talk about and how you presented it :)

[@georgebutiri7936]

These videos are really nice. Thank you for making them.

[@FUBAR956]

First of all, you are beautiful. And not only in the obvious way. The way you make each of your fans on KZbin and Facebook feel as though we are all friends is a beautiful thing. I chose the lower right photo. There is a unique sense of beauty in both the beginning and ending of life. The wilting cherry blossom shows the transition of spring in to summer. Very beautiful.

[@komori841]

Thank you for encouraging me!! I will promise more often!

[@kmaildavid]

Very interesting. I like your series about Japanese. And I love the Japanese sense of minimalism and their love of nature. Especially in Zen art and haiku poems.. Thanks.

[@The_Gallowglass]

The left picture showed some beautiful flowers, but the right one on the bottom was the most attractive. It was the focus on the flower, the whole thing, from a more aesthetically pleasing angle, even if the flowers were not in blossom.

[@social0inertia]

I think that we would call the 17 letter poems a haiku, or at least that's what we call it in England. We are taught it as a poem that is three lines long, and each line must have a certain number of syllables; there are five syllables in the first and last line and seven syllables in the middle if you write it in English or if you translate it into the Roman/English alphabet. ^^ I am so glad that you post these videos, they are so informative and interesting. (:

[@komori841]

Thanks for your very kind message and time !

[@Bahia320]

Dear Komori, I am very interested in Japanese culture and am studying everything I can find about the Ama. I don't speak Japanese yet, but am enjoying watching the NHK morning drama "Amachan". I found this video very interesting and look forward to watching your other videos. Thank you very much!

[@komori841]

Thanks for your very kind message;D Your message make me happy!

[@akayaannlevinzer7857]

I came here to change myself and my looks but you made me believe that even if you've not started to bloom or even if you've withered apart into pieces of your past beauty you are still beautiful, what's shown outside is not necessarily beautiful, not always perfect, but what's before you in the imperfections is beautiful. Dig a bit further, know the meaning behind all the little pieces and find out what is beauty. Thank you for making me a hint of beauty, you made me feel beautiful and you know only a beautiful person can do that. You are beautiful.

[@TwitCentury]

Thank you for this insight of Japanese sense of beauty. To be honest, I couldn't choose between the two right pictures. First there's beauty that hasn't yet been revealed, and then there's beauty that seems to be fading away and yet somehow is still there. The one on the left though is still beautiful in an "outward beauty" kind of way.

[@NoComment79]

Hello from Scotland. Really enjoying your videos. Very interesting. I really want to visit Japan. ✌☺

[@MarioCesar34]

Very interesting explanation you did about Japanese conception of beauty. And of course you are very beautiful!

[@jihjp1348]

thanx for the video. i m comin back to rewatch. i do get the points about hidden/in-process beauty but i got lost on 17-letter poem... U have a huge fan base. Arigato!

[@mizzuniqua]

you are just adorable! I love watching your videos :) also, you are very good at explaining things!

[@komori841]

Wow, I could not find the " wilting Cheery blossom " show the beginning of summer..! I love the way you feel. Thanks very mush for your always help Garza ;D

[@ayakasayaka1399]

この動画の方は ご自分が美人で魅力的であることを十分認識されてるように感じます。　でもだからといって決してそれを自慢する感じではなく、謙虚になされてますよね。だからこそより一層魅力的に感じるのだと思います。

[@3690mm]

Thanks for helping me understand the concept of beauty in your country better

[@komori841]

Thanks! I am happy to receive the message from you!

[@VINCENTDARKLY]

Would maybe think about doing some more kanji videos or some common polite spoken phrases? Also, I think you are still doing a wonderful job on the videos, very enjoyable to watch.

[@arifaith8588]

You think you're not beautiful? I think you're really pretty :)

[@komori841]

Thank you!!!

[@LucienSaint1]

I do totally agree ;)

[@rfpeace]

I think she's amazing:)

[@rohankulkarni6937]

Ari Faith you are so cute and beautiful woman in the japa

I find your videos very interesting and informative . thank you so much

[@komori841]

Tracy, I really happy to receive message from woman.Thanx!!

[@runelun4]

I really liked you video! :) It really shed light on how the Japanese see/sense beauty.

[@millapeltonen667]

nice video, I was in japan 3 weeks ago, I would love to go back, people where so nice :) keep up the good work

[@TracyReinhardt]

I really enjoy all your videos :) Thank you for making them Tracy

[@bayanalsharif2925]

great video , love love love your channle , plz make more videos it is really educating

[@chezy8148]

Hello! Great channel! it's very interesting and I think your English is pretty good. I hope you keep making videos. You've gained a subscriber! :)

[@komori841]

I love this "it is undeniable that boys like the obvious beauty" I also totally agree the "The type of beauty that you only "discover" when you get very close to someone, become a best friend or in a relationship." Thanks for sharing your very beautiful inside ;D

[@Semikami]

I love these videos. Also, I chose the hidden beauty. :) Speaking of hidden, I just love the lyrics that Kyō from Dir en grey writes; there're so many hidden meanings that I find beautiful.

[@komori841]

Yes.. It was difficult.. Thanks for your complement!

[@PianoHaiku]

This video is going straight to my favorites list. I find this topic really interesting and I'm happy that I didn't choose the picture on the left, that means I'm a little bit closer to Japanese people ^^ thank you for your video~

[@6200567]

Many Japanese see sakura paintings as meaning, "Life is wonderful yet fleeting at the same time. But life is as such." (WABI SABI=わび．さび) There is such word. "Sakura scattering, fallen sakura petals in the air, if sakura is going to scatter for no one, then let it bloom for the one who loves. "（散る桜・残る桜も散る桜・誰もが散りゆく定めの桜なら・愛する者の為に今は咲こう）

[@TracyReinhardt]

Yes, I thought that might be what she meant! I think her videos are so interesting and thought provoking. I really liked this last about art/beauty. Tracy

[@stanley526]

I've only seen 3 of your videos and have just subscribed. I'm trying to decide whether it is a cultural difference or philosophical difference between the USA and Japan. You are extremely interesting to listen to and you have a very pleasant , soothing voice. Keep up the videos.

[@gatitoarayas]

Thanks for this and all your videos ! Im studying Japanese but I know its very important to understand the culture besides the languaje. Also, I.think you're really beautiful c:. Byee ~

[@komori841]

Thanks for your message ;D I am happy to receive!

[@3D-Operator]

She did try to tell, that some Japanese, not all, are more sensible to something that is not obviously. That might be the problem why it is hard to understand. In my Opinion she did it well. And as she said first, it is an individual feeling. So the point is, she got an own opinion, is open to other, and try to tell her point of view. You never will get a better explain on beauty because beauty is definite based on subjective feeling.

[@t.k.5972]

Do you think this is the reason why some bonsai artists try to recreate the look of old trees ? Is suiseki a wide spread artform or even rare for japan ? It sounds so much like that "hidden beauty" aspect you mentioned, looking at mere pebbles and stones and find something astonishing..

[@komori841]

I must say, please wait for next!! ;D Thanks so much for your very kind message !

[@jeerachartblueplanet]

... thank you so much Komori, now i understand why many Japanese art movie sometime not tell directly , but we have to think and interpret on it ... so good clip from you

[@chefree8476]

Your expression and articulation of your Japanese culture is excellent! It makes soooo much more sense on "why" our Japanese friends have always loved "Our traditions of Polynesia!" O - Shinjerarenai, lol (^+^). "Mahalo"(Thank you) for your sincere sharing, in which is considered what we call "mana'o," in polynesia.. expressing the power within you, is truly the beauty that allows the screens of your viewers to be filled with such radiance, This, my dear, ENSURES your majestic beauty. Such things, are of "Aloha!" :) Domo arigto gozaimasu! Aloha from Hawaii! Keep up the great work! Ganbaremasho! lol

[@komori841]

+Ché Free Hi! I am so happy to receive a message with your words, even I have never hard of these the sounds is so calm and make me relax. I love "Mahalo ❤"

[@bigexit912]

笑顔が素敵ですね。 英語が聞き取りやすかったですし、内容も面白かったです。

[@bryanprindle]

Ok, I think I get it. I had to listen to what you were saying several times about the Japanese perception of beauty and how that relates to you as a person. I think what you are describing really goes to the cores of some of the differences between the Western and Eastern sense of beauty. I think I understand what you are saying about your fellow Japanese citizens not thinking you're pretty because you talk too much, but to the Western work we love a woman to speaks and acts intelligently. I for one really look at a woman's inner beauty; the sparkle in her soul, how she views life, the joy she brings the everyday life. Now that's a beautiful woman, you seem to have that in spades. (look it up if you don't know what 'in spades' means). Keep up the good work, and I assure you, you're beautiful.

[@sleepymandragora1392]

it was really funny, i thought: "hey i wanna watch a new video from kimori, i have submitted the channel and checked youtube yesterday but lets have a look." and there it was, perfect timing and as usual a nice video, but i love those where you show some places more, there i can see some places from japan i may visit if i ever can make a visit to your awesome country ^^

[@kikilala9103]

"sense of the beauties" hahahahahahaa xD so cute, makes me wonder if perfectioning a language is really necessary

[@kattyjayhere]

It would be amazing if you can make a video about japanese manners(house manners,etc) onegaishimasu

[@magegirl8]

This video is FASCINATING. Please make more videos.

[@Deceptatronic]

I love this video! You are correct in your belief of hidden beauty. Beauty is essence, internal. Lovely message Komori :-)

[@scarsremain805702]

I love Japanese culture, the food and I've been interested in visiting Japan since I was a child.I don't really have Japanese friends.Everything I know about Japanese culture I've learn over the years.I do not consider to know much about your culture (Japan),but I would like to think I've learn to know it's Heart.Thank you for your insight and lessons you share with us.I find them insightful,interesting,and a pleasure.Take care.

[@company543]

You're english is pretty good compared to some people I've seen learning the english language. Keep up the good work

[@komori841]

Yes, I also love the thing "could look like" like every morning sunrise.Thanks for your opinion, it really meaningful.

[@norhan751]

Omg, how can you be so cute? You melt my heart.

[@komori841]

+Toha Zeghroud OMG!!

[@beautytounveil320]

I love this, thank you so much, Komori! and... you are beautiful. I think I heard you say that you were not towards the end?? but you are. I respect you :) Arigato! God bless you, Komori

[@EMJKfunnTim3s]

i really love your accent :O it makes you seem so much cuter! looking forward to more videos from you ^^

[@BeulahLips]

You have the most beautiful Japanese character and personality I've seen in my fifteen years experience with them. Keep on being who you are. God bless you. ;)

[@ranjiccu1]

To put it simply, beauty for japanese is uniqueness. They love quirky beauty... If you aren't watching j- dramas you might find the actresses at first not very interesting, but as you watch it again and again, you slowly appreciate the beauty of the actress... It's beauty which is not very overwhelming..

[@Zeal42]

I love your English. Your personality shines through your words =)

[@zGashubellz]

thanks for sharing, very informative video!

[@komori841]

Thanks to see!

[@pekinobo]

Thank you so much Komori san for teaching about this. It´s interresting to hear your and the japanese view on beauty. I choosed the top right corner, becouse it´s ready to blossom. Is there any specific meaning why they have chosen 17 letters in the poem? You Are beautiful ^_^ and have a great day.

[@terebiomimasu]

Often, beauty is not something that can be seen. As you mentioned, everyone's opinion of "beautiful" is different--even within one's own culture. Very nice video. It sure has been a while, I must say. Looking forward to your next post.

[@komori841]

I don't know how my accent sounds to native..but I am relieved to hear that!

Hello,all your videos are so interesting to learn about the interior beauty of Japanese people and more i listen these videos more i like Japanese people.Thank you very much.

[@JayDeLart]

Thank you for the insight! I chose the lower-right-hand picture. My reason is, it looked like it was struggling to exist. It wasn't simply "cute" or "pretty", it had an unclear fate, which also appealed to my imagination. It had a poetic beauty.

[@wlt5526]

Each flower has it's own beauty. And therefore every picture of this 3 different potrayals of flowers are all beautiful.

[@Flastew]

You are a truly beautiful woman and your videos are very informative and fun so keep them coming. keep practicing your English you almost have it perfect. in fact you speak better than a lot of so called native English speakers.

[@LinZhu101]

Like when you said "Tsuki ga kirei" in english these words means " The Moon is Beauty" it's just so so right? but then you try to understand more, it should be other words than "aishiteru" means "I love you ^.^".."as the light of the moon this night, you're so beautiful"...such a great poem ^_^

[@colormeindie]

great video :) its very cool to see how other cultures think

[@SamuraiTogo]

Very nice video. ★She is explaining some kind of Japanese "Wabi-sabi" concept. "Wabi-sabi" concept is very difficult for foreigners to understand, and also very difficult for Japanese to explain. But she is explaining it very easily. It's very good.

[@BensonSra]

Loved this video, very interesting indeed.

[@TheCutieAstig]

I chose the close bud photo because its pink lol but great to know that i might have the same beauty standards as of the Japanese. I love Japan!

[@Anonymous-vk8mk]

Shinju Chinen you look like my schoolmate Many really likes her hahaha

[@SouthJerseyRaw]

Your English is very good!As for the Japanese sense of beauty most or all Asian cultures want you to look deeper rather than the answer to be obvious. Of course, if you are sensitive or psychic that foils or spoils the plan. Keep your vlogging or youtubing up it will just be more beneficial to you in the future. The world is shrinking. It's a good thing too. Because some of us are more attuned to folks in other countries than we are in our home country. Luck!

[@rafaelmontoya1454]

Your channel is really good! I have subbed! I'm not sure how it's actually pronounced but Americans pronounce it ha-ee-koo

[@austincureton3153]

I must disagree completely. Apologies if you don't agree with my opinion, but I think you are very beautiful. I truly enjoy the insightful learning I receive from your videos. Definitely a true blessing to learn, and hear what you have to say. Many thanks :)

[@professorhamamoto]

Dear Komori-san, Thank you for the explanation of Japanese aesthetics. You explain it well. What is the term or concept for "hidden beauty" in Nihon-go? Thank you. dh

[@komori841]

Thanks for your message, actually, I even don't know . It could be, 刻んできた過去や、物語、より本質的な意味を含んだ対象として、見たり、聞いたり、した時に感じる一見だけでは感じ得ない美しさ。 How do you think!? I am a not professional at all, pls share your idea as well;D

[@theodora1979]

komori841-san, this is a very helpful video. Hearing this from a native Japanese, confirms my thoughts. Japanese people are looking for natural, pure, hidden beauty. And this is another thing I love about this country. In my country lots of people are amazed or mesmerized by natural beauties and most of them are trying so so hard to get to them, by making friends with them or trying to get them as a lover. I love that in Japan, people would look for something else, like the personality for ex.
