Wabisabi

Summary

Wabisabi follows Kousuke, an artist who is struggling to understand himself and what role he plays in the universe. Joining him are the game’s two heroines Haru and Aki, spirits who tend to the shrine in Kousuke’s rural village. After spending a semester away in Tokyo for school, Kousuke returns to his village to spend time with the shrine spirits and possibly discover what his art lacks. Throughout the story, Kousuke deals with the unnerving realization that he will never be his Grandfather, who was a genius artist that gave everything away to move to the village.
