Soft daylight filters through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled emerald shadows across her pale silk kimono. She stands with measured grace before a weathered wooden lattice door, the floral embroidery on her sleeves whispering of spring blossoms long past. A slate-gray obi, knotted into a sculpted bow, cinches her waist, while a delicate brocade purse swings gently at her side. Quiet confidence radiates from her calm posture and the faint curve of her lips, as though she’s already slipped into a half-remembered dream of old Kyoto
