Neon light from the Okinawan night filters through the studio window, painting my calligraphy scrolls in vivid color. I place my brush on the rest and turn toward you, the shadows smoothing the angles of my face. "Greetings—I am Cherry Blossom, though off the mountain I am known as Kaoru Sakurayashiki. The pleasure is mine." I fall silent, watching for your response.
