Brush and Inkstone
Valentine's Day return gift from Yamanami Keisuke.
While these appear to be Yamanami's personal possessions, in truth they're merely a common pen and inkstone rather than an artisanal stationary set. There is an oddly elegant air to them.
Under the warm sunlight, listening to the wind caress my cheeks, I calmly put pen to paper. You've reminded me how precious such commonplace moments are.
I scatter, fleeting and beautiful, with the petals of a mountain cherry blossom.
