alex – thank you for Entrada Murasaki

When I was growing up, my grandmother ran a Japanese inn near Tokyo University called Jakuen. She named the rooms after the character’s from Genji Monogatari – Aoi, Fujitsubo, Rokujo, Murasaki....I have slept with most of Genji’s women.

After my grandmother retired, she turned Jakuen into an international boarding house for students.

Years later in her 70s , one night she fell down the stairs and died in a new condo she purchased after selling Jakuen.

is
as it
is as is
silence
unobstructed, stairs
leave no ashes
