[X]: I went exploring the palace and the palace gardens as far as i was able, often having to give my minders the slip to go somewhere I wasn't supposed to. Crawled under beautiful garden bushes, found hidden ponds, got in trouble in the palace kitchens, and generally ran all around the huge palace complex, getting to know it well, its many hidden nooks and hidden places. In doing so, I learnt a little about stealth and acrobatics, avoiding adults, climbing over fences and up trees, and a lot about the day-to-day going-ons in the palace and its hidden places, especially those outside.

[X]: I played a lot of Go, which is very popular in court. Usually I played it with children my age, but occasionally, my father would sit down and play a game with me. I've learned to be flexible but determined from my games, skills that will be valuable to me when I'm older. The stakes at this age are usually low, little pebbles or sweets, but it's not unheard of for adults to play very serious, high-stakes games of Go.

[X]: I spent my time at the Chuwain, an enclosed area of religious buildings for the worship of the emperor's family and the great Amaterasu-Omikami, the great august god who shines in heaven, and the ancestor of the imperial family. While i couldn't run around as i pleased, the priests there were happy enough to have me around while i didn't make trouble, and often told me stories or explained religious ritual to me. This would have been seen as a bit odd for a boy my age, but no problem. It was a holy and peaceful place to me to find some breathing room.
