I enter the estate, greeted in gold flowing dresses by two young girls. Their hands in prayer position, yet the typical bow symbolic in Japanese cultures, yet draped wrists with gold and lacquered green bells and upright heads. Red and green adorations intertwined within the gold. Their hair pinned primly up with the common decorative gold band embracing their large locks. The earrings giving their face exactly the correct amount of adornment to even out the bursting gold clothing, and illuminating their bronzed colored faces. Candles delicately flicker all around, and one can smell the hint of bananas drenched in honey. Beyond the main entrance and wooden screen I venture, where I am beheld by two more greeters, smaller in nature, but just as ordained as the first. Plants and palms surround, giving fresh oxygen to my senses. And orchids float on water everywhere you look. This in itself is a simple delectation of the occasion, as orchids are that of pleasurable flowers to me. I gleefully took the invitation, by my friend China and another acquaintance (one of my kind, a mermaid with a prized tail of black, red, and yellow), and followed along the hallway past more wooden screens.
Out of a painted window, half clothed children are at play and the older ones playful in flirting. Boys in bottom tunics, and young girls with typical design of cloth gracing their left shoulders. Another window displays a busy water gathering well, where the female natives retrieve this element in buckets with poles draped over there bare naked right shoulders. I pass another painted window and glanced to see a very pretty lady of stature sitting in a garden on a dock, with her hand wistfully dangling in the waters below, green foliage flourishing in abundance around her. There are other windows along the walls, and I wondered what they revealed in beauty and about this society. But I did not have time to see, as the king and queen awaited at the far end of court. They sat side by side in gold thrones and gold decor, the queen's clothing covering her right shoulder – unique to the common person's dress. I sit to dine in a golden palace. To dine on royal porcelain from the kingdom, decorated in a fashion of colors truly the description of eye candy – golds of course, aquamarine, red, teal, purples, and a hint of yellow highlighting. And Buddha watches from above in the alcoves lighted.
