明式书斋（白天）

an original Ming-dynasty scholar's study: a large plain huanghuali painting table with a brush pot, an inkstone and a few rolled scrolls standing against the far wall, a low-backed official's armchair behind it, an open bookcase of plain huali wood on the right wall stacked with thread-bound books in blue cloth cases with no visible titles, a round moon window with wooden lattice on the left wall looking onto bamboo, a blank plain silk scroll hanging on the far wall, a pair of tall wooden candle stands in the far corners, polished grey square floor tiles, and an empty patch of floor in the centre about four metres from the camera
