Kai-Zen
In 12th-century Japan, players join a school of Zen artists and craftsmen seeking the fifth element, kū: sky, emptiness, and sublime balance. They study ancient scrolls, extract fragments, and compose emaki scroll paintings. Clans of dragons, samurai, monks, and peasants must be brought together in harmony while the powers of water, fire, earth, and air are combined. These creations aid learning and meditation on the path to greater wisdom.
