A peek inside
You have served as a lady-in-waiting at the Heian court for one autumn, and for six weeks someone has been answering your poems. They arrive folded into pale blue paper and tied to a sprig of bush clover, carried by a solemn messenger who never says a word. Every one is signed Harumichi Ayase, a junior secretary of the court archive, and every one replies a little more boldly.
All characters are adults aged 25 or older. Your choices set the pace.
