Dabbling of light.

The Japanese word thatcaptures the concept of dappled light filtering through trees is "komorebi" (木漏れ日). It is a beautiful and poetic term often used to describe the interplay of sunlight and foliage in a forested environment. The word combines "ki" (木), meaning "tree," "moru" (漏れ), meaning "to leak" or "to filter through," and "hi" (日), meaning "sun" or “sunlight."
