I read that years ago (in English translation). Do you think that this book has a feeling of 「あわれ」?

I would say the story is せんさい, delicate.
あわれ is used to be written あはれ in classic.

Concepts such as 「あわれ」、「わびさび」、
「もったいない」are very difficult for me to

Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot...
