Description

In the contest of the trees vs. this lovely Japanese tea house, I think the trees are winning at least on this side of the house. The entry points are not covered in limbs but the forest side is very foresty.

As you walk through the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, you first see glimmers of a wooden shape. Eventually, you can spot the lovely tree house through the trees, fitting in so peacefully as if it's part of the forest. It beckons you to the porch to spend a few mindful moments or to a full Japanese tea ceremony. This image is based on an original photo with watercolor effects applied.

Tea gatherings often involve the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha (抹茶), powdered green tea, the art of which is called (o)temae [お]手前; [お]点前. A chakai is hospitality that includes confections, thin tea, and sometimes a light meal. A chaji is a formal gathering, usually including a full-course kaiseki meal and confections, thick tea, and thin tea.
