		<title>Future Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Akiko sat nervously at the table, glancing at Kazumi, who seemed equally nervous. The girl had moved all her stuff over from her mother’s that day, and Akiko had seen it piled in her room, waiting to be sorted out. Shiraishi had said that she wanted to talk to both of them, and had been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accepting the Inevitable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Kazumi, are you still here?” Shiraishi sounded surprised, and when she looked at the clock Akiko was surprised as well. She got up, careful of her kimono, and walked slowly to the other room. Noriko had said that they should get as much practice as they could, so she was wearing a kimono most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Husband and Wife</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The morning ceremonies were still busy, and Akira hadn’t missed one since he and Akiko had started going out. Akiko looked forward to seeing him, and getting a bit of time together every day, so she was disappointed when he turned up with an older woman, dressed in a kimono. It didn’t take long to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kimono Lessons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Stupid rumours!” Kazumi exclaimed, as she fiddled with the belt. Noriko shook her head and started adjusting it for her.
“What?” Akiko didn’t follow.
“Well, people say women don’t wear underwear under a kimono. I’m wearing more underwear than I normally wear overwear.”
“Kazumi, that doesn’t make sense.”
“I’m already up to four layers!”
“Oh, I see.” Akiko couldn’t help [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maternal Blessing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Akiko held her cellphone in her hand, arguing with herself about calling. On the one hand, it was a long time since she had called her mother. On the other, she wasn’t sure that she really wanted to call just because she had a boyfriend now, and it might stop her mother complaining about it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By the time Akiko got back to the shrine house, a number of ujiko had gathered in the office, and Shiraishi had the building plans spread out on the table. She looked up and beckoned Akiko to join them.
“… are already paid for,” Shiraishi was saying as Akiko entered the office, and the ujiko were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paternal Blessing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Akiko and Akira walked up the steps to the shrine together in the early light. Kazumi was already there, in her vestments, and when she saw them she stopped dead, looked at each of them a few times, and then grinned.
“Welcome back! Akiko, you’d better get changed quickly.” Akiko turned to Akira.
“She’s right. I need [...]]]></description>
