What a fascinating list! I hope it will be expanded in the future too. One of the words I immediately thought of, that I enjoy very much (but never use...) is petrichor, the smell of rain in the air.
And one of my favorite Japanese words would be tasogare, twilight, also the verb tasogareru, which can mean "to wane" or "to be lost in thought, melancholic".

Yes! Fantastic word. I almost considered putting it in, but for now it remains safely in the cabinet.
DidnтАЩt know tasogare, but thatтАЩs wonderful. It makes me long to revisit Japan! I would be 100% down with you writing a post about Japanese idioms and words. Just saying. ;)
Not a bad idea! Here's another teaser: neko wo kaburu, literally "to wear a cat" means to feign friendliness. (Idk if I have that many more beautiful or funny things... should definitely make a list at some point.)

Thanks Vanessa. Yes, petrichor is a lovely wood for a delicious concept.
Great Japanese contribution to the cabinet too!
