"The Japanese philosophy of ‘shiawase' is the celebration of happiness and wellbeing, which is wanted to bring to the property at the beginning of the year, at a time when people are reflecting and looking to recoup after the festive period,"

Sorry the link doesn't preview. Here's a sample "For the Japanese, kintsugi is part of a philosophy of embracing our human flaws and life’s fragility. It is about celebrating imperfections. ... Kintsugi teaches us that in life we can turn adversity into something that is beautiful and resilient."

amazingly i could only find a lot of discourse on marie kondo (of course) and then side mentions for 72 seasons (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/may/11/how-embracing-72-japanese-micro-seasons-could-change-your-garden-and-your-life), tree bathing (though this notes it seems like rubbish even in jpn) and furoshiki (but mainly from a gift-wrapping perspective)
