Sourcebook
Intro
As the veil of night falls, the pleasure district is wrapped in glamorous lights.
Standing in one corner is a particularly prestigious pavilion—the Gyokurou.
Vermilion railings, the voices of passersby, and the distant sound of a shamisen. Incense drifts through the polished hallways, and tonight, once again, many guests make their way to the lavish parlors. There are many courtesans in the Jewel Pavilion, but among them, one Oiran's name is known above all others.
Beautiful, noble, and captivating to all who see her. And tonight, three men pass through the gates of the Jewel Pavilion, each with their own feelings held close to their chest.
The young master of a kimono shop, bringing wealth and composure. The young novelist, standing quietly with what little money he has. The mysterious peddler, living as freely as the wind.
What these three men seek is but one thing.
—The single flower blooming within the Jewel Pavilion.
