Shofuso Japanese House and Garden

On a very cold day, just before a big snow
Shofuso Japanese House & Garden in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia
Foot bridge over the Moon Pond. A study in grays and elegant subtle line
All subdued with a blanket of white
And this beautiful mossiness
Patched becomes elegant and timeworn becomes Art, like Boro
Tatami mat texture held the oddest element of warmth
