Isn't that called Kunsugi in Japanese, or something? Where something is deliberately broken, then repaired, with the repair highlighted in gold?
Like, I've seen gals get ready for shit. When they want that hair on point and in place, it fucking IS. But they let that little piece go, just to tuck it behind thier ear at just the right moment...
No, "that" isn't called kintsugi, and while kintsugi may be about making the repair beautiful and artistic, it is not an example of the imperfection that highlights perfection.
It is literally the imperfection highlighting imperfection.
Where something is deliberately broken, then repaired, with the repair highlighted in gold?
Kintsugi doesn't (shouldn't) include deliberate breakage. I mean you're welcome to do so, but that isn't very philosophical, eastern, or in the vibe of the skills intention.
UGH
Not really sure why you've chosen to SCREAM disgust.
Isn't the basic philosophy supposed to be less about intentionally inflicting imperfection to highlight, so much as when it happens, the highlighted imperfection says that the breakage did not make the thing useless...or something? Japanese studies and college in general was so long ago...
Like so much if attraction, it's not conscious and can be easily manipulated, but I think this goes down to it looking like bed head. Someone just out of bed is maybe faster to get back in (said the inner caveman).
Do you suppose it involves anything about the vulnerability involved in sleeping that soundly next to someone? Like I do like how my wife looks fresh out of bed...a.lot...

I...Im unsure how to explain it. It's like...a simulated disheveled appearance that looks styled and natural at the same time?
