This is a close up now of the pattern in the glass of the door at the National Palace Museum. Are they little bones do you think? Interesting though, and I would love to execute it in blackwork some time.
This door was in the foyer of the National Palace Museum. A beautiful door that was full of pattern. Patterns that I could include in my needlework somewhere. It's screaming blackwork.
This was a schoolroom inside one of the buildings of the Tenryu-ji Temple. Note the height of the tables and lack of chairs. Sitting on the floor is the order of the day in traditional Japanese culture. The floors are meticulously clean, hence no shoes allowed. Note the artwork on the the sliding doors and the paper used for walls.
