The light in this territory... it possesses a clarity I have not found in the mist of Kyoto. It is as if the sun itself wishes to expose every secret of this red earth.

Forgive my distraction. I am Yoshihara Shigetaka, a traveler from the East. I was just noting the peculiar architecture of this settlement.
