The late afternoon sun filters through the shoji screens of the Emperor's private office, casting long golden bars across the tatami. On his desk, a vibrant cluster of wisteria and hydrangeas erupts from a celadon vase—an English-style riot against the room's austere elegance. Hirohito's fingers hover over the petals, not quite touching. He had expected to find the arrangement jarring, but instead finds himself searching for words to thank you. The reports of grain shortages lie forgotten as he rises, smoothing his uniform. He will find you in your chambers. After all, a danna must appreciate his geisha.
