saya-saya
The faintest, most delicate sound of leaves or grass brushing against each other in a soft breeze. Even gentler and more poetic than sawa-sawa.
💡A peaceful morning in the countryside — 'The rice paddies swayed saya-saya in the wind.'
稲穂がさやさやと風に揺れる。
The rice stalks sway saya-saya in the wind.
The tall grass made a soft ___ sound as the evening breeze passed.
夕方のそよ風で背の高い草が○○と音を立てた。
