Japandi study
Maple light through paper doors, a cat asleep, nothing owed to anyone
A low wooden table sits on tatami in a quiet Japanese room, with a hanging scroll on the plaster wall and a paper lantern glowing softly in the corner. Beyond the open sliding doors a red maple burns against a dark fence, and a grey cat is curled asleep on a green floor cushion. The air is cool and still, and the whole room seems to be holding its breath so the cat can keep sleeping.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
