Descrição
One enduring fashion in the design of gardens and grounds for opulent castles is the incorporation of ponds and streams, which are as expensive as they are beautiful. A perennial tradition at outdoor gatherings that allows the host to show off their wealth is the placement of hired musicians aboard a beautiful wooden raft with crew poling it back and forth across the artificial waterways. This allows guests to see and hear the musicians, but the water between them allows the guests to feel separated from the “hired help.” These rafts are masterpieces of craftsmanship, incorporating elaborate carved dragon or waterfowl heads at the prow. Artisans often craft these boats as masterworks, competing to shape the most beautiful or most complex ornamentation. (Cost: 20 koku. Rarity: 6.)
