After Crossing

The tablet is on the ground behind her. The river is real. The boat was on the screen. She is mid-stride.

An onna-bugeisha walks forward in three-quarter rear view — naginata upright, furoshiki with the kamon on her back, katana at her hip. Fully armoured, fully in motion. A dragonfly travels beside her at full scale, going the same direction. The river flows at the lower left. The tablet lies at the water's edge behind her — a boat on screen, the real water beside it.

She has already stepped past it.

The seal reads 無執前行. Without attachment, move forward. The crossing is complete. The raft that carried her across is not carried on her back. The furoshiki carries the kamon. That is sufficient.
