Literally translating to scenery, nagame is the Japanese concept of framing a scene. And when it is realized in a living space, it often manifests as a well-placed window offering up a picturesque moment that hangs like art in a home.
It's a notable aspect of many homes constructed under the lens of Japanese design. Rather than treating the window as just a portal of light and air, it's used to help you pause for a moment. I'd even go as far as to say that it's the architectural version of stopping to smell the roses.
