I Love Japanese Culture

I know so little of it, but there's something so beautiful about it, about the way of Japanese aesthetics & how this is woven into their culture, into their everything. The Japanese have words for ideas & feelings that don't exist in the English language, so looking into the Japanese culture I'm discovering an entire world of new ideas, wonderful, beautiful, Japanese things.

Does anyone here know much of the Japanese culture, history, aesthetics, art, literature, language? I'd love to learn more if I'm able.
Have you heard of Mono no aware? It roughly translates to meaning the sadness of things. Embodying the feeling of the transcience of life, beauty, happiness and the sadness it brings will bring when those things that fill you with emotion are gone. Like the beauty of the Cherry Blossoms

I have actually :D beauty in endings & the fleeting nature of things, an appreciation of the transient, it's a beautiful solemn emotion
