A serene Mandana Koka, a traditional Japanese tea ceremony setting, is framed by a delicate cherry blossom branch. Soft, warm light pours through the translucent sliding doors, casting gentle shadows on the polished wooden floor. The kimono-clad hostess, seated in a contemplative pose, cradles a steaming teapot amidst a carefully arranged array of ceramics and flowers. The tranquil atmosphere is punctuated by the subtle sound of water trickling from a stone basin.
