Sawa's Mother

Towa Karasomori was a lovely young woman of the powerful Kaasumori family whom her daughter resembles, with the same white crow familiar. She loved her husband and children dearly until her unfortunate demise at the hands of the man who loved her still. Her legacy is still enduring as the diary she had bought, but failed in write in, remained her teenage daughter's possession as a memento and reminder of Sawa's resolve to destroy Janome.
