I put your names in a hat and drew the grand prize winner, who will receive a signed copy of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox, and three winners of the amazingly apt Twinkle Pens from my local Japanese variety store.

Chapter 66: Teachable
Kohaku picked a meadow flower and held it out. “Do you know how to weave these?”

“Even Sesshoumaru-sama?”
“He never complained.” Kohak...
