Pastel dreams

Motif

Imagine you are in the Japanese country side, at the turn of winter to spring. You are taking a walk in the morning in the cool and crisp air. As the sun begins to rise, the fog gently parts revealing the mountains. Towering cedar and pine trees surround you, and the sweet fragrance of plum blossoms heralds the arrival of spring. The dense mist drifts before your eyes, unveiling a river winding through the valley. Atop a mountain sits a shrine, its staircase evoking a sense of a mystical journey.
