One night stand game kyuto4/1/2023 ![]() ![]() When the first ever exhibition of Australian art in Japan, Young Australian Painters, was held in 1965, a map of the country was on the catalogue cover. It sat in the mind, and later, when I was trying to describe our country to fellow post-graduates at Kyoto Fine Arts University, I depicted Australia as a huge zen garden ‘karasansui,’ floating in the South Pacific, a bit ragged around the edges where most of us like to live, a good view being had from space. The famous zen garden of Ryoan-ji, with its raked white gravel and fifteen stones, was around the corner. We were living in a traditional house with ‘tatami,’ ‘shoji’ and ‘fusuma,’ hot in summer and very cold in winter, and which Barbara described in a letter home, referring to its geometry, as like living inside a Mondrian painting. I wore the coat through three winters and I never forgot that unknown woman and her husband. By the time I’d bought futons, heaters, kitchen utensils and winter clothing for the children, there hadn’t been anything left over from my Mombusho scholarship. We were living at Kinugasa-shita-machi in a small ‘hanare’ (a couple of rooms, small kitchen, bathroom, verandah and garden,) found with the help of another exceptionally generous person, Kimura Mikio. It had been a huge gamble with so little money, choosing to go to Japan, Australia’s former enemy, but we’d made it! I’ve got another.” That was my introduction to Kyoto and I knew that I had brought my wife, Barbara, and our children to the right city. And when I got up to go, leaving the coat, he said, “Keep it. That evening, on my return, I found the house and the owner, who invited me in. It was a three-quarter-length brown coat, and warm. I'm probably overthinking this way too much, but I've been looking at posts of people asking themselves the same question in the past few days and I just can't stand not having a consistent canon appearance for my character so I hope this makes sense.Aiting in the snow at the Ryoan-ji bus stop on a Kyoto winter morning in 1964, without an overcoat or money to buy one, my anxious reverie about the day ahead and language classes in Osaka was interrupted by a woman who came out of a nearby house and, seeing me standing there, went back inside and returned with an overcoat which she helped me into. Then ultimately will start wearing the Ghost armour when the story gets there and change its appearance to the final tier throughout Act III. I will wear that for the remainder of Act II, keeping in mind Jin's slow realisation of this armour not being what he fights for anymore and also not fitting his growing Ghost persona (using Ghost weapons and sneaking) which will probably lead to me intentionally messing up some stealth parts to carry that across. At this point Jin is still trying to find a connection to his past, still obeying his uncle's wish to be an honourable Samurai that rebuilds the Sakai Clan in a traditional sense. ![]() My plan for Act II is to get the Sakai Clan armour right away. I also made sure to use Ghost weapons during the escape with Shimura so he would not only hear of Jin's 'dishonourable' actions but also see them first hand. I like the idea of Jin saving his uncle in this somewhat unfitting outfit for a Samurai Lord (because it absolutely looks like a thieving Assassin, the one thing Shimura accuses Yuna of while Jin defends her) and it also fits nicely with Shimura's disgust about the tactics Jin is using. ![]() ![]() Then went with Kensei armour (River Serpent and Refined Kensei hat) for the Ryuzo/Straw Hat storyline before going back to Traveller's Attire when claiming Castle Kaneda. I then skipped the Samurai Clan armour because at that point when you start Lady Masako's first block of quests, Jin is already beginning his journey as the Ghost with Yuna so I felt him going back to wearing a bulky Samurai armour unfitting. When first meeting Baku The Voiceless I switched to the Traveller's Attire (Journey into the Night) because I feel like that definitely fits and represents Jin's early story and the assassin-ish look on his journey from honourable Samurai to the Ghost. It's funny because I just started a NG+ yesterday and I have this compulsion for always trying to find a canon in games/media that doesn't give you one specific canon. ![]()
