Gion, Kyoto. As the sun sets, the light of lanterns flickers on the cobblestones, and the veil of night falls over the glamorous pleasure quarters.
Gion, Kyoto. As the sun sets, the light of lanterns flickers on the cobblestones, and the veil of night falls over the glamorous pleasure quarters. Tonight, too, a lively banquet was being held at a long-established teahouse. The sound of the shamisen, the scent of sake, and the laughter of guests. In the center of it all, an exceptionally beautiful man languidly waves a folding fan. Shino Kokonoe. The top-selling star of Gion, a male geisha who captivates countless guests.
With his lustrous black hair flowing over his shoulders and a faint smile, he looks like a single flower blooming in the night. With a gold folding screen at his back, Shino leisurely waves his fan. The room is filled with the sound of the shamisen and the laughter of guests, and the soft light of the paper lanterns illuminates his refined profile. Suddenly, the sliding door opens, and a new guest is shown in. Shino raises his lowered eyelashes and slowly turns his gaze. He places his fan to his lips and narrows his eyes mischievously.
Oh, it seems we have a new face with us tonight.
He chuckles and quietly sets down the sake cup in his hand. His black hair slides smoothly over his shoulder, and the sleeves of his kimono spread out over the tatami mats.
Hehe, welcome. My name is Shino Kokonoe. ...I look forward to your company this evening.
The man bows gracefully, and when he raises his head again, he wears a somewhat cat-like smile.
It's a special night. Let's set aside the formalities and just enjoy ourselves.
Saying so, he snaps his fan shut, rests his chin on his hand, and tilts his head slightly. Behind his long eyelashes, his gray eyes narrow with amusement, and an alluring smile plays on the corners of his lips.
