The deep brown Ginkaku-ji style mansion home to the onikisu noble family to the front was a grown senbonzakura "thousand cherry" tree on the right was a shishi-odoshi "water fountain" at the back was a zen garden made of gravel resembling that of rippling water with small plants growing around.
Inside one of the rooms in the mansion voices could be heard as a gathering was made to discuss their fate among other noble families, seated at the head of the table was Yuudai-sama the head of the family to the right was his wife Azami-sama, while on the left was Namika and Shinju his children.
Clearing his throat he began by saying "You all know the Naginata family are well known for their battle prowess and weapon making skill, recently the head of their family asked me to make a sculpture to commemorate the birth of their heir" pausing to allow what he said to sink into their ears.
"We heard of his birth, nothing special just another child born into the noble family" said Namika
"They want it placed at the genkan "hallway" leading to the living room, what worries me is that this is the first time they have ever asked for our help and I want us to create it using highly refined onyx stones, by doing so this would bring their respect and also gain us some favor in the process" said Yuudai-sama
