I had the chance from Pakua UK1 to spend a weekend at Dojo Stara Wieś2 in Poland. Unexpected as it is, the Dojo is a small village, built for Japanese martial arts, in Japanese architectural style.
While it's not the complete fairytale Japan one might expect, in the end, the only thing one could wish for is a small forest of giant bamboo, because everything else is tranquility here. The ponds were full of huge frogs and lovely newts, the air was filled with loud and happy birds - it's a lovely place.
I took the picture not that early, sometimes just after sunrise.
