Introduction xx Navigation xx Shizuka Gozen xx Artwork xx Acquaintances xx Personal Items xx Notes xx Lyrics xx Credits xx Journal Miharu Gozen [Miharu-san] xx This Shirabyoshi is definitely one I would consider my friend. Often times we will entertain together, and carry out whispered conversations the whole time, bent on explaining ourselves and what we see. Miharu-san brings out a different side of me, I'd have to say. Many refinements are shed in her company, but I usually have more to gain than lose.
Katsuhige Ebisawa [Ebisawa-sama] xx A Samurai. I certainly don't know what to think of this man. He has kissed me before, yes, and forced me into confusing emotions, but we have not seen eachother for months. He is not for me, I know. Nothing of the turbulent emotions he has caused remains. He has left the court. I doubt I'll ever see him again.
Kurodo Mikado [Reizei] [Mikado-san; the emperor in disguise] xx This man certainly is interesting although I have not seen him about too often. I met him in the performance hall and we spoke at length. I'm sorry to say my pride got in the way a few times and he soon left, although for some reason I don't believe he was extremely angry at me.
Toyama Sachiko [Sachiko-san] xx [tbw]

Introduction xx Navigation xx Shizuka Gozen xx Artwork xx Acquaintances xx Personal Items xx Notes xx Lyrics xx Credits xx Journal Dear Journal,
A small visit to the garden, journal, that was all it was. So then just how did it grow to such a point in minutes? I do not understand it myself. Perhaps it was that I was in an odd mood to begin with? Whatever the case, I have let a samurai quite successfully crack my unchanging mask. Katsuhige Ebisawa, his name is. Ebisawa-sama, I call him as the Shirabyoshi I am. In fact, I feel acutely that I should keep up use of honorifics while using this journal - especially since he requested that I discontinue them in his presence.
In any case, we met up in the gardens and he requested my company, so we took a stroll. In just minutes he was confusing me horribly. I admit that I was overly fond of Ebisawa-sama's nature in the first place, but when he tried his humor on me, I couldn't quite stand it. Probably because of the mood I was already in, Ebisawa-sama distressed me greatly, and for no real reason, either.
Distressed and confused, I admitted this to him. He was very polite about it, but I doubt I will ever know what he was thinking. I had my cheek brushed deliberately, and though I jumped, I really... don't think I minded it. But I am the most amazing fool, journal.
Ebisawa-sama and I soon continued our walk through the gardens, speaking. I believe he might have been trying to decipher me. It wasn't working, in any case, but I was soon enjoying the feel of the garden. I paused in my walk and closed my eyes, and next thing I knew... Ebisawa-sama had chosen to kiss me. I pulled away near immediately and apologized. He apologized himself.
After that, I left. I just left. I did not know what to make of Katsuhige's kiss and I still don't know if I want to figure it out. It's not as if I haven't been kissed before, but this kiss was just confusing from a man I felt I could trust.
But what do I feel now? Part of me believes that I do not wish to know. I don't think I can trust him and I don't believe I can really care for this man-- I simply don't see us ever working out. He is kind, yes, but I don't think I'm ready to give my affections over to any man, deserving or not. My greatest loves are dancing and poetry and that's the way any shirabyoshi should feel, right?
My confidence may certainly be lacking, but I feel I can declare in all honesty that the man that kissed me also has hardly any meaning to me. If I were to grow to care for him, I might not mind although that is not something I foresee. For now, I must continue to be diligent as a shirabyoshi for I believe that going down that path may be the true formula for happiness. I cannot be satisfied with someone else if I'm not satisfied with myself.
[x] Shizuka

Introduction xx Navigation xx Shizuka Gozen xx Artwork xx Acquaintances xx Personal Items xx Notes xx Lyrics xx Credits xx Journal Dear Journal,
I now know what I felt. I know now that my feelings were merely confused and tumultuous. Katsuhige... to me, he is nothing more than a kind man. Not someone I want to kiss or truly be with. No, I'm still waiting for that. We have gone our separate ways, Katsuhige-san and I. Perhaps I may have hurt him, but I am sure that he will manage to get over this. He is a man who cares for his wife and his son.
So much time has passed, but so little has happened since I last wrote. I go about my life daily, dancing, singing, making beautiful conversation. It is true that I have met people since, but no one has figured greatly in my life lately. And nothing, I suppose you could say.
I rather enjoy the simplicity myself. It makes concentrating on my role of a Shirabyoshi a primary thing in my life, which has been much-needed. I find myself continuously learning things although I am a full-fledged Shirabyoshi. Who knows? Perhaps I will be considered to be at the level of Akane-sama someday. I have no other thoughts but these. I use my time to go forth with my ambitions to be one of the most successful women in Japan these days. It is a worthy thing, is it not?
The last thing I need right now is rumors, gossip, or a man in my life. I am content to strive for perfection as a Shirabyoshi for now. That's what my mother would have wanted, after all. She was hardly any kind of a famous dancer or poet, but I think she was happy with her lot. But who knows? Maybe she could have been great had I not entered into her life. Perhaps she had the potential but was hindered by taking care of me. It is no time to speculate on such things, I know, but I wish I'd found out.
I should move away from such trivialities concerning my honored mother. If she had any regrets or made any mistakes I was the last person she ever would have confided in. I suppose my mother had a firm belief that ignorance is bliss-- and, certainly, I was a happy and spoiled child. Whenever I'd venture to ask questions pertaining to my unknown father she would quickly distract me, perhaps with a song or a lovely little fan. It always worked and I was none the wiser due to my shallow cares as a child.
[x] Shizuka

Introduction xx Navigation xx Shizuka Gozen xx Artwork xx Acquaintances xx Personal Items xx Notes xx Lyrics xx Credits xx Journal Dear Journal,
I have just returned from the performance hall where I had an interesting time. After performing a dance for those in the hall I sat and managed to engage in conversation with one of the most interesting of men. Mikado-san. He was extremely fascinating and rather eccentric although I do admit that at times his words could hit me the wrong way. Still, it is that way with most men these days I've noticed. At least only a few make advances these days.
Only my closest friends receive kind treatment and know me for who I am by now. I'm afraid I've built up quite a bit of armor around the men I am expected to entertain. Still, I am not about to dwell on this or even be bothered. Their thoughts of me do not thoroughly affect me.
In any case, in the performance hall Mikado-san requested to speak to a maid who had been pouring sake and I must admit he seemed quite insane at that point. Most maids are not meant to be seen or heard. In any case, I'm afraid I closed up terribly to him after a few comments and may have been the indirect cause of his standing and leaving. Still, I'll repeat, this doesn't affect me so very much.
Soon I was left with just the maid, Sachiko-san, and not much happened besides a noble glancing our way, apparently eavesdropping. Soon I decided to take my leave and here I am now, writing. I have all the time in the world to decide what I should do next.
[x] Shizuka
