KO

“I think it is a significant turn in U.S. policy toward Myanmar [Burma],” Thein Sein adviser KO KO Hlaing crowed to Reuters.

Kano's transient flowers were grown, for the most part in pots, and these his daughter Um-KO loved to tend.

Um-KO and her father were well known at the temple, and worshipped often before its golden altars.

Um-KO sat motionless against the silver fusuma, an ivory image, crowned and robed in shimmering gray.

All at once it seemed to Um-KO an unbearable thing for any spark of life to be so prisoned.

She went into her tiny chamber, and from her treasures brought out a metal mirror given her by the young wife, Uta-KO.
