Your situation: You are in the main part of the house. You look out the window and see a man sitting on the porch admiring pleasure boats on the lake of the estate. His robes blow behind him. Someone tells you his name is Fujiwara Michinaga. He is known throughout the court for his interest in his appearance. It is said that he once kept the empress and her attendants waiting while he had a new robe sewn because he did not want them to see him in the same outfit he had worn at another event. The man turns toward you.
