## Unlocking Requirements

### Coins

20,000

Soft light is born in rice paper lampshades hanging over a calligraphy table. The tea drinking corner is decorated with a green bonsai, and a furin bell is playing with the wind. This abode seems to have merged with nature. But why is the river slowing down in front of the sacred gates in the distance?

- Location Description

The **Riverside Abode** seems to be someone's home. The player's viewpoint is looking into and out of a multi-use area, with a desk off to the side, a tea tray laid out for enjoyment, and the large opening out to the boat dock. Outside the room, Cherry trees are in bloom, there is a tea house across the dock, and a serene river flows past with a Torii across it. The location is well-lit, with only a few shadows along the ceiling. Look for hidden items as ink drawings on all the walls, screens, and pictures in the room. The river section of the scene provides a bit of a challenge since the color palette there tends toward gray.

On The City Map, the Riverside Abode is in the Japanese area, near the Blooming Quarter. It is marked on the map as a large house, not particularly close to a river, but maybe we just can't see it from this distance.
