Japanese inspired room

Back in Tagaytay, we were made to wait awhile as our room was still being made up when we arrived at the hotel. The wait was well worth it as we were pleasantly surprised by our room. The Clairvoyant already told me before the trip that we had upgraded as a regular room was not available during our stay in the city. We didn't expect the upgrade to be quite luxurious, even having a Japanese influence. Following are a few photos I took of the Japanese elements in our spacious room, aplty named Nara, during our last visit to Tagaytay.

Tatami flooring and a small table that reminded me of my time as a student in Japan
Another doll holding what looks like a ceremonial kabuto (helmet)
Another doll, this time holding what looked to me as a toy or musical instrument
Lacquer boxes like the ones you could get in Kamakura or Kyoto
Porcelain jars usually used to hold tea
