Many of us are attracted to Chinese and Japanese art and culture as well as tea.

Yes, Jazz, I agree, Fan Kuan's "Travelers" and Kuo Hsi's "Early Spring" are my other two favorites of Chinese Landscape! Perfection....







And Victoria, that is a lovely screen as well, is that Japanese?

joelbct, thanks for posting better quality images! Song Dynasty landscape paintings are probably my all time favorite. I would even go so far and say that it has been a major influence for me.
@ Victoria – nice screen! If I will be filthy rich one day then that's what I will have in my house.

Actually I "borrowed" the picture of that screen from a fellow perfume blogger and tea friend - http://arhianrad.blogspot.com/

I must convince her to join us, since she has a serious addiction to kimono collecting, perfume and tea! What a perfect fit!
