KATSURA IMPERIAL VILLA (17TH CENTURY), Kyoto, Japan - The apex of traditional Japanese design. Hugely influential on such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, and Kenzo Tange, Katsura may be 400 years old, but it looks utterly of the moment. Its famous gardens are punctuated by several tea pavilions, the standout being Shokin-tei, seen here. * #katsuraimperialvilla #kyoto #japan #traditionaljapanesedesign #shokintei #teapavilion #japaneseteapavilion #shojiscreen https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AoxpnJg3c/?igshid=1o6jgoj734duy
