Chugen (=summer gift) season has come. Trainees of Japanese cultures, including sado (=tea ceremony) and kado, (=flower arrangement), are supposed to bring chugen and seibo (=winter gift) to their trainers. As for Japanese dance, natori dancers are to follow this custom. However, Master Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun a souvenir of Hokkaido yesterday – what a timing! It is just before receiving chugen from her student.
