It's a Japanese term.

From what I remember, Mike Johnston coined the term relatively
recently.

"how appealing stuff out of focus is" is a tough one to win in a
rational debate. Subjective is subjective, no problem there, it's just
that subjectivity changes with time and experience.
From what I remember, Mike Johnston coined the term relatively
recently. Till then it was a feeling photographers had for their
lenses/photographs.
Now it's what what Superior photographers add to the list of
essentials: sharpness, tonality, etc. and Good bokeh. That's all right
by me, but irrelevant to feeling I'm looking for in photographs.
Sons are born to deprecate; we have to destroy the old to start the new.
. . till we find out there just is.
