This volume presents the gentle undressing ritual of a housewife.
On a golden afternoon in the suburbs of Tokyo—not for anyone’s desire, but as a quiet celebration of her own senses.
Sunlight falls softly on unadorned skin, as if time itself has paused to admire.
Imagine her in the serene elegance of her tatami living room—a woman in her thirties preparing tea, but not for any guest.
The window is slightly open; the distant sound of cicadas seeps through the shoji screen.
Her yukata, made of soft cotton patterned with indigo flowers, slips almost off her shoulder as she pours the tea.
One hand steadies the tray; the other seems to reach for her robe—yet perhaps intentionally leaves it be.
Her movements are slow, deliberate—not for anyone’s pleasure, but for herself alone.
What was once a simple daily routine has become something sacred:
steam rising, a lacquer cup resting between contemplative fingers,
and light pouring over her body like memory.
This is not seduction for another,
but a silent ritual honoring her own physical existence.
