I'm getting into learning Japanese, and I want to know from speakers and more experienced learners about the inherent beauty of the Japanese language. Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm an elementary learner, but I vaguely know that there are lots of homonyms and synonyms in Japanese, and that the same kanji can mean dozens of different things based on its context. This seems like it would lend itself to a high potential for poetic expression, and I would love to hear about particularly poetic words or phrases that you all have come across in your learning and immersion, as well as whether you would say Japanese is a more poetic and artistically expressive language than others.
