物の哀れ

Concept

Mono no aware — the pathos of things. A Japanese aesthetic concept: the bittersweet awareness of impermanence. Beauty is brief; that's what makes it beautiful.

Interaction

Move to stir the wind. Click to release a burst of petals. Watch them fall, accumulate, fade. The season progresses slowly — fewer petals over time.

Sound

Wind drone responds to movement. Sparse pentatonic bells chime when petals land — not every one, just occasional gifts for attention. A quiet C/G drone underneath for warmth.
