mono no awaren.

Brit.

/ˈmɒnəʊ nəʊ əˈwɑːri/, U.S.

/ˈmoʊnoʊ noʊ əˈwɑri/

Origin: A borrowing from Japanese. Etymon: Japanese mono no aware.

Etymology: < Japanese mono no aware sense of pathos, aesthetic sensitivity, lit. ‘being deeply moved by things’ (10th cent.; used as a term of art and literary criticism from the 11th cent., but especially popularized by Motoori Norinaga in the 18th cent.) < mono (see monogatari n.) + no, possessive particle + aware pathos, sorrow (8th cent., also as interjection).

In Japanese art, literary criticism, etc.: a capacity to be, or the experience of being, deeply and spontaneously moved by various poignant manifestations of nature, including human nature; esp. a sense of pathos arising from intense awareness of the impermanence of earthly things.
