Peach Blossom Spring · At the Water’s Edge

Beyond a dark opening, orchards hang over bright fields. Villages gather in the folds of a blossom; a boat waits at its edge.

At the Cave Mouth

A fishing boat approaches the dark opening beneath orchards suspended over terraces.

The boat rests where the petals begin.

A great peach root descends into blue depths. A boat points toward distant light.

Villages settle between five petals, with a boat resting at the outer edge.
