[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An unforgettable experience was the discovery of the Kencho-ji Temple, the first of the five great Zen temples of Kamakura and the oldest Zen training monastery in Japan. It was constructed by order of the Emperor Gofukakusa during the regency of Hojo Tokiyori (1227-63). Work was completed in the fifth year of the Kencho Era (1253), from which the name of the temple is taken. I enjoyed every step in the buildings and gardens of this traditional holy place.

I really enjoy the aesthetic quality of this picture :)
Nice framing and lighting.
Best,

Very simple, very pleasant - I love the light and the colours, and even the warm frame surrounding your shot adds something to it.
Personally I would have preferred the focus (sharpness) to be on the garden outside, with the windows and desk to be slightly blurred.
Good work though
