Shiiro

Who he is

1. Shiiro leads the Mosswood Artisans. He wants old skills, objects, and traditions to last long enough to be passed on.
2. He can mistake keeping something for refusing to change it. Replacing a part can feel like saying the old version failed.
3. He remembers boards by their damage, the chipped nose or the deck with three winters on it, and he keeps jars of hardware other people would have thrown away.

Friendship

1. Early. He gives you a rescued deck to try, and he is proud of every scar on it.

People he knows

1. He and Welly argue repair against replacement, and they like each other anyway. Parsley admires his craft and can mistake it for a demand that everything be perfect. Jace treats him like the last word on the right way to make something, which Shiiro has to talk him out of.

Where he stands

1. In the plaza in spring, summer, and autumn, when it is clear, drizzle, fog, or wind, and it is day. On the Long Street he walks in the distance.
