Found in Translation

How cool are these illustrated words from New Zealand-based desinger, Anjana Iyer? The images represent the meaning of words that have no direct translation into English. My two favorites are Komorebi (the word reminds me of some of my favorite Ansel Adams' photographs), and Tsundoku (I'm guilty of this!)

Fernweh (German)



Komorebi (Japanese)



Aware (Japanese)



Tsundoku (Japanese)


See more illustrations here, and one of my favorite words. If it weren't so gorgeous right now with frosty sunlight glazing the trees outside, I might wish for a fresh rain--one of the best parts of living in Washington state.
