An Unsplash.com stock photo taken by Kevin Lanceplaine inside a Japanese-style house on the grounds of the Japanese garden at Hakone Estate and Gardens, Saratoga, California United States. The photo shows a roomful of colorful, cascading origami paper crane mobiles (in an array of bright, solid colors). The mobiles, which form long vertical lines extending from ceiling to floor, hang from horizontal bamboo poles spread out across the ceiling in a repeating pattern. These poles rest upon support beams at opposite ends of the room. The room is brightly lit by the natural light of a window, which appears on the left side of the photo.
