“Tea house in a woodland, Itsuku-Shima, Japan,” between 1890 and 1923, photographer unknown, via the Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection of the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
The garden may be on Itsukushima Island (now called Miyajima).
I’m sorry there was no Sunday porch two days ago; there was also no weekend internet service in our house.
What carols, like the blazon of a king,
Fill all the dawn with wonder?
Oh, hush,
It is the thrush,
In the deep and woody glen!— Edwin Markham, from “A Lyric of the Dawn“
