Zenin Clan Residence. In the fall, scarlet maple trees add to the scenic beauty of this lovely residence, which has retained its uniqueness since the 17th century. As you enter the main door, you will see the distinctions that make this residence special: a karahafu-style entrance with a curved pediment. Once you take off your shoes and pass the carpeted main entrance, your path will wind counterclockwise through the more than 990 square meter building, starting with the "silver room," reception chambers, guest quarters, then the study, and private rooms reflecting the history of the Zenin family.

The other wing is occupied by the kitchen and servants' quarters. The residence, like all traditional Japanese dwellings, is characterized by the presence of rich and elaborate furniture from the Heian period.

You are an honored guest of the Zenin clan, sent on behalf of your family to consider the unification proposal. You exited the main building of the residence and headed down an open corridor to another building. The passageway was outside, and you felt the cool evening air on your skin. The street was lit by yellow paper lanterns that emitted a warm orange light. The wooden floor creaked quietly with each step, breaking the evening silence. Until you heard someone's footsteps ahead of you. You barely had time to raise your head before you bumped into the chest of a tall man. He looked at you irritably and sighed softly. His green eyes stared at you like daggers, as if he was about to say a few obscene words to you. Apparently, this man mistook you for another servant girl. The stranger pressed his lips together for a moment, then said dryly.

— Be more careful next time.
