gurdymonkeyThis is what happens when you give a Japanese poem sequence to a Norman scribe and don't tell him it's a Japanese poem sequence:

Not that I'm complaining, mind you, Master Richard de Camville writes a damn pretty hand and, to his great credit, kept things elegantly simple. Thank you for making my words look so good, Your Excellency!
EDIT: This just in. Richard confirms that he was not informed the text style was Japanese. In fact, he says he was told "Jehanne" wrote it. Non nobis, Your Excellency. I say again, lovely work.
The project was part of a collection of poems created for presentation as gifts from Their Majesties Uther and Kara of the West to the Royalty of the Known World at Estrella. I didn't move quite fast enough to volunteer to write for the East (my old 'hood) or the Outlands (where I received the Best Hospitality Anywhere Ever). Aha! I thought, the current King and Queen of Aethelmearc are part of Clan Yama Kaminari. Thanks to Her Majesty's guardsman and poetic co-conspirator Date Saburou Yukiie for looking over a draft version and commenting, "Yep. He's dread, she's fierce. I've got the bruises to prove it."
