how to pronounce bokeh - Google Search

The word itself is Japanese, and they put a different emphasis on the two vowels, but even in Japan it differs slightly by region. I say bo-KEH which is closer to the Japanese pronunciation, but differs from the English. The common way of saying BO-kuh is incorrect no matter what country. That doesn't mean most people who say it don't pronounce it that way.

It's a bouquet amid the bokeh. Nice colors.

Whatever way you want to pronounce it, it's a wonder image.
