On Play: You may return an entity in your Garden to your hand: Play an entity with a cost of 2 or less from your hand.

Errata. Printed: “Subtypes: Watercrafting, Water Painter.” Official errata

How to play it

The returned entity is in your hand before the free play, so return Hayabusa Itto and play it again for a second search in the same turn.
Fumiko can return herself. You get a free 2-cost entity now and Fumiko back in hand to repeat the trick next turn.
Hayabusa Itto, then Fumiko replaying Itto, is three entities played this turn, so Hayabusa Saburo draws if you play him next.

Described as the near-expected turn-3 play in Water decks; Stalking Assassin is offered as an alternative that leaves opponents facing a 2/2 plus 2 restanded IKZ instead of Fumiko and 1 IKZ.

Run at 3: bounce a 1-cost searcher and replay a 2-cost core card for free, then portal Fumiko back for a net cost of 2. Silver Current, Haruhi on turns 2-3 can disrupt these plays.

The turn-3 engine: play it in the Alley, bounce a 1-cost entity and play a 2-cost entity into the Garden.
