The Whispering Walls of Kyōto
A Tale of Life, Death, and the Persistence of Memories
In the quiet hours of a Meiji winter, when the cherry blossoms had long since faded and the sun dipped into the misty mountains, a mysterious tale unfolded in the ancient city of Kyōto. It was a time when the Shinto priests whispered secrets to the wind, and the geishas danced under the lanterns of the Gion quarter.Natsu, a young woman with skin as smooth as the pages of an old scroll, sensed the whispers on her skin. Her aunt, O-shi, had given her the gift of hearing the whispers – the echoes of memories imprinted on the city's walls.
