This is one room of the beautiful old tea house that overlooks
the ornamental lake in our local park, Kono Koen.
It dates from the Edo period, and the park was once the
garden of the Nabeshima family summer residence.

In every way a stunning image - perspective tone clarity - consummate japanese - place for quiet thought - an 'internal garden' of sorts....

Beautiful capture, Ray. It's so hard to get the light right in these rooms.

Thanks Eileen, thanks tore. This tea room, and the park it sits in, is one of my favourite places in Saga. I would love to live in the tea room (it is quite large)!
