Rituals

A day tuned to weather, tea, and lantern light.

Tea beside mist and water at dawn The main garden viewed from cedar doors Rain-polished stepping stones in the garden Warm lanterns reflected in dark water

Arrival Before Light

Enter through cedar while the garden is still blue and the pool has not yet caught the sky.

Tea at the Water Edge

A quiet pour service beside open doors, steam, rain scent, and one lantern left burning.

Slow Garden Circuit

The path moves in small arcs around moss, stone, wisteria, and reflection.

Lantern Hours

After dusk, the dark garden turns reflective and the house becomes a warm line of light.
