There are objects in this world that have the potential to boost happiness and overall well-being. Since Aristotle, happiness has typically been categorized into at least two aspects: hedonia (pleasure) and eudaimonia (a well-lived life). But more appropriately, in this case, the Japanese would call this zakka or the art of everyday things. Essentially it is an appreciation of ordinary objects that favor quality, craftsmanship, mindfulness and intentionality.
