..".About the Lord Shitake, and the Contest of Folded Paper..." Held captive to an enduring patience that comes from the overwhelming, obsessive desire to excel. Skillfully matched opponents who ignite the meaning they've found within their lives, within their souls, until thought becomes no longer possible. Poisoned by a less than blissful union, the intricacy of the contest is exceeded by the depth of the characters who attend it. ...and everything must end with the completion of the illusive Golden Lotus. You have been welcomed.
