8 ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF TEA CEREMONY SET UPS AT THE CHEN'S NEW YEAR'S DAY

   This is a floor set up.  Note the wood slats

in background are set into the floor to increase circulation from floor below.

   I sat here for my second tea session.  This is a small secluded

dining area separate from the main dining room, but with its own kitchen, which is shaded from view by the

hanging straw mats just visible in background left.  The picture window to the right looks out over the mountain forest.
