Morioka is 140 leagues from Edo...
:22:38
...at the end of the Oshu road,
and not blessed like the west country.
:22:43

splits through rock to bloom.

:23:14
...and it's nice and warm.
:23:19
Split that rock.
:23:24

:23:28
Go wild. Bloom.

Our clan made him a teacher
at its school.

Squire Chiaki!

Your body's wide open.
Keep your arms down!
