Pale cocoons fill shallow woven trays beneath the dark rafters of a timber barn. The racks rise along the walls and across the far end of the room, leaving a narrow route through their layered edges. Several trays slide into the working passage, revealing the soft irregular shapes resting among straw. A man pauses beside one of them, his attention on the small details directly in front of him.

The open gable brings a mulberry orchard into view and gives the loft a clear connection to the living plants outside. Uneven daylight catches the bamboo rims and worn wooden rails, while the upper roof stays in shade. The resulting pattern comes from useful equipment and patient work: each tray has a place, and each level remains part of the same practical growing room.
