i love this clean fresh style of older japanese books. This is being sent out as a rabajck with tea and chocolate. Hope u enjoy and then are able to send the book off on its travels

I love the look of this book and the sound of it on the back :) Thank you! Thank you for the Minstrels...I've eaten some already. And the tea book you made is awesome! So sweet. I love it! Thank you!

Hmmmm, not really sure what to make of this book. It seems like not alot happened, even though it did. And the things that did happen were not explaned. Was the story about her parents stealing her true? What was the deal with her being asked by Ryusuke to check the accounts. Did Naeko decide to get married? Also I think Chieko had a fairly unrealistic attitude to being a stolen child. I would have liked some sort of conculsion to the book. This book is worth a read but it's not that exciting. I wasn't 100% sure what an obi was so I looked it up.

Obi - sash for traditional Japanese dress, keikogi worn for Japanese martial arts, and a part of kimono outfits.

Enjoy :)

Got it this morning, thanks!
It's nice and thin - perfect for slipping in my bag =]
