霧

霧

Fog.

Here, '霧' refers to the natural phenomenon of fog, described in a literal context.

霧が濃くて前が見えない。

The fog is thick, and I cannot see ahead.

'霧' is used metaphorically here to describe a situation where clarity is lacking, similar to being obscured by fog.

その事件の真相はまだ霧の中だ。

The truth of the incident is still unclear.

In this sentence, '霧' again refers to a literal natural mist, this time emphasizing its transient and clearing quality.

朝の霧が晴れると、美しい山の景色が広がった。

When the morning mist cleared, a beautiful mountain view unfolded.
