I recently read a quote from architect Sverre Fehn that stated:

"Japan has a word for finding the pleasantest point in an interior..."

I was wondering if anyone might know what this word is.

question
words
Is there a Japanese word for "finding the pleasantest point of an interior"?
Best I can come up with is... `趣きがある` `(おもむきがある)` `Omomuki` literally
translates to 'Charming' on the internet. But that is too frank. It more means
'classy'. If you are talking about a room, it means the place in the room that
gives it it's charm.

For example: `このはしらはおもむきがある` - this means 'this beam is charming' literally.
But it means that the beam has a charming age that gives the room a good
feeling.
