Chapter 4: Kuwahara Torajirou

My name is Kuwahara Torajirou and I was born in 5 May 1829 in a small village out skirt of Onomichi. My life is quiet and quite boring. I'm a loner. I do not know why I often felt sad without appearance reason to do so. Since I refer the solitude may be it just a state of mind. I have stayed away from the village children all my life because they were not what I looking for.

My mother is a very quiet women, she rarely talks may be that is why my father married her. I only heard from her the very maximum is twenty words a day. My father is a merchant that why I almost never see him, he is all way on the road.

I'm the only one in my village who has a tutor as my father the only one who can afford. The other children mocking me behind my back but I do not care even through I understand how they feel. Our village is poor and I felt guilty often when I watched my neighbors struggled to survive everyday. Do I sound too old for a five years old kid? But then I have lot of spared time to think.  

My only joy is playing Go that introduced by my tutor. We have to sketch up the board on the sand to play because Obata sensei did not able to acquired one nor do I. I wanted to ask my father but he is always busy and properly thinks it is a waste of money. Whenever I play Go I feels happy as if I feel closer to what I seek. 

Today as usual I sitting on the beach, Obata sensei just left after the game we has because he off to see a friend. I sat there lost in my thought again. Suddenly I felt slightly chills, surprise at the changing wind and decided to go home or my mother would worry. I started to walk back to the village when something made me turn around, a vibration that so strong is drawn to me. I found a goban covered with seaweed floating on the foam water. It looks very old. Quickly pick it up and for some reason I have never been felt so good.

TBC.
