I usually only write historical fiction based in Japan (going to venture into China and maybe Korea soon).

I do plan to try a more modern story soon.

I am going to school in Tokyo, Japan and plan to research and write a book in English about Shinsengumi and the meiji restoration in as much depth as I can.

Also my interests are in Geisha, Oiran and kimono.

Basically anything historical fascinates me.

Stories in progress

あゆめの物語 (Ayume's Tale)

My most serious of works. I put most my time and effort into this story because I really hope to achieve something with it.

A Stone, An Ink Brush and an Old Willow Tree

A bunch of short stories mingled together. Based in China. I can't really post till I can verify the Chinese names are correct and good ones.

Oiran Diaries

Short stories all connected by ending to beginning telling the lives of Oiran in Edo period Japan. And the stories of specific girls trying to make it in that lifestyle.
