| Luxurious swathes of matte almond silk culminate in a high-reaching peak and drape down over a bamboo frame to serve as an austere shopping tent. The back area houses some pearly white pine shelves, each spread with buttery suede lining to protect the delicate wares. Beside an elongated silver-framed counter sitting at the center of the room is a graduated mistwood stand displaying a plethora of fine instruments that rest upon quilted satin. You also see a silk-lined chest and a bamboo sign.

|
| Jasmine-perfumed smoke wafts upward from a circular silver and gold censer that is placed in the corner nook of the silken tent. Tapered candles burn in iron-worked holders that flank an ivory marble worktable, illuminating a latticed bamboo bench that is nestled just behind the bright lighting.
