Weeping Blossoms

An illustration envisioning a pagoda-inspired cottage hidden deep in a mountainous forest. The building is embedded into the landscape, making use of the surrounding water for energy, food, and seclusion, requiring a boat trip across the deeper portions of the lake. The weeping cherry tree has been cultivated into a part of the house by generations of the family who call this place home in a careful balance between the tree’s ever-growing roots and the structure of the house.
