Japanese language and manners uncover a layer of consciousness we are not aware of. … We are very sloppy and noisy and unreal. Japanese have words to express things we do not express, microscopic moods, nonbili, tea-drinker’s colors. The Japanese language can teach us to see and to feel things we have not been aware of. If there is no word to express a certain mood or inpression, it scarcely exists in our consciousness. At least it doesn’t exist with anything like the authority and clearness that it exists when it has been classified and given a name.
