Weifu,

nokeh refers to the non-existent image elements beyond the in and out of
focus concepts which have traditionally been the objects of attention

bokeh refers to the out of focus part of the image, nokeh to that which is
beyond out of focus.

nokeh is critical to top quality conceptual art photography but is rarely
detected by those who cannot tell the difference between Elmars and
Elmarits: these are known as 'nobojin' which roughly translated means those
'people beyond focus'.

I hope you find this explanation without purpose,

Seriously all this bokeh nonsense seems to be the obsession of those who
cannot point their camera in the right direction and press the button.
