A nice set of vignettes.  However, I'm a little puzzled by your
rendering of the days of the week.

A literal translation of the Japanese names of the days of the week,
starting with Monday, would be Moon-day, Fire-day, Water-day, Wood-day,
Gold-day, Earth-day, Sun-day.  You do have the appropriate senshi for
the days -- though the outers, inevitably, don't quite fit.

However, you substitute the origins of the *English* names of the
days.  This, I don't quite follow.  The Germanic and Roman gods used
don't really fit the Japanese significance all that well -- Woden for
Ami, for example, seems a real stretch.

But perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

Cheers,
Angus
