Come visit a place at the center of town. A special place called Twenty-Four Homes. It's twenty-four places where God's people live. It's twenty-four places where God makes His home. Come hear a story about God becoming the home of a special heart there. What does Jesus look like? There are different representations of Jesus's physical appearance in paintings and illustrations, but we simply don't know what Jesus's physical appearance looked like. Violet loves pictures. Her bedroom walls are full of all kinds of pictures, including several different pictures of Jesus's physical appearance. Violet is confused and frustrated by this and is determined to somehow find a picture of what Jesus really looks like. Motivated by her yard sale house plant that finally blooms, Violet's own heart blooms and discovers what Jesus surprisingly really looks like.

Izumi Kyoka (1872-1939) wrote some 300 stories, plays, and essays. In the first book-length study in English of Kyoka, Charles Shiro Inouye argues that his writings were a refinement of a vision that came into focus around 1900. This narrative archetype formed the aesthetic and ethical bases of his work. Kyoka does not fit the conventional story of Japanese literary modernization. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he did not jettison the Japanese literary tradition in favor of modernist imports from the West. The highly visual mode of figuration that was Kyoka's compromise with the demands of literary modernism allows us to see the continuation of Edo culture in the Japanese modern and expand our understanding of literary reform in the early twentieth century.
