現実の悲しみや共感から生まれる「憐れみ」の感情

However, whenever the artist tried to paint Nami, he could not complete it as a masterpiece. This was because although Nami's beauty was flawless, 'a certain crucial emotion' was missing from her expression. It was the expression of 'pity' (awaremi) born of real human sorrow and deep empathy for others. In Nami's strong and cold beauty, 'pity' did not exist at all, leaving the painting incomplete.
