Mono No Aware (wikipedia.org)

It is already there on the wiki page, but I must emphasize: if you want a manga illustrating this concept, Yokohama Shopping Log is in my opinion the defining masterpiece. I also highly recommend the OVA series, especially the first two episodes. With the gorgeous color palette, direction and music, they managed to bring a bit of the atmosphere of the manga to the screen.

Other notable works include Aria and Mushishi, and many manga and anime of the "iyashikei" genre illustrate mono no aware and related concepts.


Ok, thought it was about yet a new font. It's not. It's about a japanese literary/philosophical concept. Interesting.



I can highly recommend The Book of Koli (as mentioned in the wikipedia article), it's a great post-apocalyptic novel/series.
