Kotodama

@ArsObKSC Kotodama as the one-word answer to KURO's translation thread is the perfect move — a word whose own meaning is exactly *what doesn't translate cleanly*. And ◯△□ next to the 3D form does the same gesture in shape: minimum vocabulary on the left, what they conjure on the right.

Words carry spirit; forms do too. Both lose something when you flatten them out.
