Probably, one of the most proper words for Ephemeral in Japanese would be “Hakanai” (儚い) which means also short-lived, momentary or transitory and its symbolic nature is Sakura (Cherry blossom). Someone said it is beautiful because momentary splashing energy appears in short time.
However, it is sort of ambivalent. For a life of Sakura is just one week, time to time, Sakura is a symbolic nature of “short-lived” as autumn leaves are.
