wabi-sabi

“For instance, there is no English translation for the Japanese
wabi-sabi—the idea of finding beauty in imperfection—or for the German
waldeinsamkeit, the feeling of being alone in the woods.”

@HAK there are many such words, IMHO.

Maybe we should just borrow them as they are without inventing new words just for the sake of these looking closer to the target language.
