This is Nakamura-ke, the 283-year-old home of a Ryukyuan farming family. The first house was actually built here in the 15th century, but the current foundation was laid in 1720.

Helen, I've always liked the "timeless" nature of Japanese design/gardens...well-captured. MFC

Really wonderful, Helen. I think you captured a very serene mood from another time.

An interesting shot and a beautiful story behind the image. I think this one would have faired very well in the perspective challenge. Your chosen perspective is excellent. Mark J

Absolutely Stunning photograph. You have a great "Artisitc Eye", Helen.

Helen: I have enjoyed your colorful work and follow your images in the STF with interest because I lived in Japan. But, this shot...this is the essense of Japanese! Thanks for posting it and transporting me back to Tokyo 1978.

Helen, I love the simplicity and understated elegance in this photograph. It's an everyday scene, yet you somehow manage to give it that something, by seeing it the way you have, that takes to another level. Fremiet
