Extract
Confirms 木漏れ日 as a standard noun headword, glossed "sunlight filtering through trees" — no JLPT level given, and no marking as archaic, rare, or dialectal.
Corroborates, from an independent lexicographic database, that the word is an unremarkable entry in general-purpose Japanese-English dictionaries, not a rare or invented term — consistent with the Weblio/Daijisen finding above.
