Exotic Japan

What could be more exotic than spring in Japan with the trees in blossom, a tea house to sit in and contemplate the beauty and calmness of the water, the rocks and the wooden bridges. You can feel very close to nature here away from the bustle of town.
A wee corner of Japan in Motueka, sister town to Kiyasoto. Mono does not take anything away from this scene as the blossom is white and the teahouse stained dark tan.

Thanks Ellaphant. I had to think long and hard on this one. I could have popped into a local Thai or Indian restaurant as they have exotic wall hangings but I might have felt obliged to buy a meal.
