I sit atop the back wall of the Kamiya Dojo, next to the gate, trying to decide if I should go into town for some tofu now or later. It’s a conundrum, truly. If I go this morning, the tofu will be the freshest and I will have my choice at some of Karou’s our favorite vendors. On the other hand, if I wait until later, the price will be lower and the tofu will still be very nearly as fresh. I may have to search a bit harder through the marketplace for the best prices and freshest tofu, but I do not mind the extra time.

Instead of deciding, I sit here, content to be seated on the wall and enjoying the view of the back of the Dojo grounds and the surrounding neighborhood. Sometimes I wish Kaoru would consider moving to a place without so many of my enemies people. Tokyo was always highly populated, but in this Meiji Era with the Emperor relocated here, it is even more so.

I miss the sunrise over mountains I enjoyed while doing my chores at dawn for Hiko.

I miss the sunset over the ocean I enjoyed on my long wanderings around this lovely country.

I miss the view of the cultivated countryside, a lone tori in the distance lending the distinctive mark of another presence besides the local farmer.

I miss the rain in the forest; the pounding tempo of the water on leaves resolving into a drip drop cadence on the ground.

I miss the fall of the autumn leaves in the foothills, a rollicking color playing out of tune with the herald of winter.

I miss the dominance of Mount Fuji, following me for days and weeks as I traveled the length and breadth of it’s shadow.

With a sigh I leap to the ground outside the Dojo gate and begin walking into town…

Hmmm.....the caption says: "Morning at the Camp for Recovering Psychopaths".

Makes you wonder what the Afternoon would be like.....and when, or maybe where, the "Recovering" will take place?

Maybe we should advertise at the University of Vienna for someone to consult here at Himura_Gumi!

Great thread, players!
