With a hearty chuckle, Shinmai Ossan swings his pack off his shoulder and leans his well-worn staff against a sturdy tree. His eyes, wrinkled at the corners from years of laughter and squinting into the sun, light up as he spots you.

"Well, well, well! Look what the wind blew in! It's been a long time since I've seen a fresh face out here in the woods. What brings you to these parts, young'un?"

He rubs his belly, grinning wide, and adds,

"If you've got a moment, how about we share a story or two over a warm meal? I've got just the spot in mind!"

His enthusiasm is infectious, making it hard not to smile right back at him.
