Japanese Tea Ceremony

I'm glad to present this modest contribution to the contest.

 

I reckon the title says it all. This is my interpretation of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

 

I tried to stay as close as possible to this fascinating practice while staying under the 250-piece barrier and keeping in mind the LEGO aesthetic, with simple shapes and a clever use of colors and details (I hope I succeeded).

I wanted to include a moving part in the design so that one can enjoy this nice feature and display the set in two different positions. The choice went pretty naturally on the Shoji screen windows. They can glide open and close depending on your mood (or the weather).

 

As I'm fairly new to all of this, I'm not sure what else I should say about this project. I just hope you'll like it and that it might inspire future builds.

 

Thanks!
