:43:19
Aren't these my wares?
:43:26
I wanted to taste sake
from your cups.
:43:33
You're fortunate, my little ones,
to catch this noble lady's eye.
:43:39
I'm a farmer,
so the pottery is just a sideline.
:43:43
But I feel for my creations
as if they were my own children.
:43:49
That such a noble lady
would look kindly on them
:43:52
is a great honor.
:43:55
To see them
in such a grand residence,
:44:00
graced by the touch
of so beautiful a lady,
:44:05
is a dream come true.
:44:08
Not at all.
:44:09
They must be saddened by the touch
of one fallen on hard times
:44:13
such as myself.
:44:17
Please, have a cup.
:44:22
My wares have never looked
so beautiful.
:44:36
The value of people and things
truly depends on their setting.
:44:42
My wares must be at a loss to find
themselves in such a noble manor.
:44:47
Your talent must not be hidden away
in some poor, remote village.
:44:53
You must deepen
and enrich your gift.
