"Inazuma Shogunate, Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Clan." Widely known as one of the most distinguished clans in all of Inazuma, it is the branch of the Tri-Commission that manages ceremonial and cultural affairs. Since my parents passed, Brother and I assumed responsibility for all clan matters, big and small.

"Was it one's thoughts that drew him to my dreams? Had I known it a dream, one would not have awakened." Hehe, I love that poem.

Good afternoon. It is normal to feel drowsy after lunch, might I interest you in a game of Go to stimulate the mind?

There's a pleasant breeze and glorious sunshine... So, where shall we go for a walk?

"Snow that once adorned the world in silver, thaws to reveal the gleam of the fruit upon frost-laden branches." *sigh* How picturesque! Only some tea would make this setting more complete.

Her Excellency... What is she trying to communicate?

Come with me, let us find shelter from the rain.

A blade embraces its duty as a jeweler cherishes their gems.

I only wish life could be as leisurely as this a little more often... How greedy of me.

So this is a day in the life of the Traveler... Hehe, I'm learning more about you all the time.

A blade is like a tea-leaf. Only those who sample it many times can appreciate its true qualities.

I have dishonored... our clan...

Much remains...Unfinished...

Pardon my indiscretion...

We ought to end this!

A worthy opponent

I will not stand for this

Kamisato Art: Soumetsu!

Sakura swirl.

Embrace the ice.

Whirling snow.

My apologies!

Take flight!

Come with me! We're not going far away - I promise it won't delay you too much. I managed to find out when your birthday was well in advance, so I could prepare in good time. Hopefully this wasn't assuming too much, but I guessed you might prefer this to an expensive gift. In honor of your birthday, please allow me to perform a fan dance for you.

Though I do not eschew animal fat and organs entirely, they are far from my first choice.

I'm fascinated by food from overseas. Though I don't get to try it very often... So, if I had to choose something from Inazuma, then probably... Chazuke. But not when anybody else is watching... So I tell you that in confidence.

Troubles? Well, I mean... that's life, isn't it? There will always be things that don't go one's way. But I do not wish to worry those around me on account of things that are my concern alone... so, it is best if I keep them to myself.

I have great affection for the arts: music, song, poetry, shougi, and dancing. And you?

Have you ever noticed the withering sakura tree in the city? For me, there is a beauty to the withering, it brings back fond memories of the spring. Most people don't agree — sakura trees that will never bloom again are removed. But when I look at a tree, all I want is to see it blossom again... just one more time...

It is said that "the flavor of Zen is that of tea," and it is also said that "the power of Zen is that of the blade." One might ask: What does that say about the relationship between tea and the blade?

If you've got time, shall we take a walk to Komore Teahouse? To chat about the art of tea on a pleasant day like this seems like the sophisticated thing to do.
