It surprised me to see English speakers using this Japanese word (which must be used with caution if you refer to someone using it), and I guess it's now become an international terminology. Spelling seems a bit odd to me too, although I do understand why they added the 'h' at the end.
This is me too, almost every day. I love looking at the trees and the wonderful blurry areas ahead of and behind what I'm focused on. My love of the blurred out of focus areas is what actually has me a bit nervous about the 7x binoculars that are on the way now, because I don't want everything to be in sharp focus.
I'm completely enamored of the out of focus areas and having my subject be razor sharp. It's one of the things I look for a daily basis, and other than bringing things closer to view, being able to add blur to reality is one of my greatest pleasures when using binoculars.
