Beautiful Japanese Word of the Day #2
黄昏(Tasogare)
"Tasogare refers to dusk or twilight"
Daresokare (誰そかれ) is said to be the origin of the word, which means "who is that?"
At dusk, it is difficult to tell who is who, and so daresokare comes from the natural human response to the darkened faces at night.
Writer's note: I always think of the Twilight Forest in Minecraft whenever I hear the word Tasogare since the Japanese title is "Tasogare no Mori". I'd imagine it must have been scary to meet people at night back in the day since there was no source of light besides fire...Thanks Edison
