Tora-chan is staring into a bush. And Mikan-chan does onto Tora-chan. Your concentration is amazing – never wander even if mom says hello. They have never met with each other, yet known well maybe.
Horrible Season
StandardSo they’ve come. Yes, cedar pollens. Shin is seriously allergic to them, has only to take medicine and sleep to stop sneezing. And his mother does the same downstairs. Ohhh … Mei-Shun currently has no symptom, yet who knows when and how she joins them?
Joy of Sweets
StandardMei-Shun loves 和菓子=wagashi, Japanese sweets. Anko (sweetened bean paste) is harmonious not only with green tea but also with sugar-free tea and coffee. You can enjoy local excellence of taste at home these days, thanks to frozen ones available on delivery services.
Green Bride
StandardMei-Shun is good at growing green necklaces (only). Today is the “marriage” date for the best-grown one; Professor S, an admirable lady who kindly friends with Mei-Shun, would like that pot. Well, drink much water, relax well in the sunlight, daughters. Who would be the next?
Hello, Buds
StandardThis cymbidium is named “Yellow Card”, a gift from Kasumi Kikunoe, a “sister” student of Mei-Shun. Despite such dangerous name, it beautifully gleams in full bloom. Last summer, Mei-Shun took devoted care of it, which had got black at the end of leaves. It survived well, and greets her today with one, lovely cluster of buds.
Shiny Peace
StandardIn morning sunlight, Mikan-chan curls her back before fully stretched. Oh, you smile and give mom a sweet purring. Yes, it’s warm indoors today. Yet mom has to be outdoors to see a dentist, darling.
After 2 Years
StandardShin has brought home a wild vine when he had a business trip to Nagano. The fresh fruit tastes nice, yet a bit too sour. Mei-Shun therefore made it soaked in white rum. We tried this beautiful violet color at the end of 2013 – it gave a fine scent as well. And to date, it has been separated into bottled liquid and fruit.
Another Angel
StandardA little cat of Viola tricolor was lying in sunny grasses. It first seemed that she enjoyed the sunshine, but … maybe passed away a few hours before. Good bye, sweet girl. Your next life will be brighter and happier.
Before Shiokumi …
StandardMaster Mei-Shu gave another idea for Mei-Shun’s 2015 performance – “Suisen-Tanzen“, an image of a flamboyant guy strolling through the downtown at night in the Edo period. Master might think of a kind of resemblance between “Shima-no-Senzai“, 2013 performance by Mei-Shun, and “Shiokumi“.
Excellent Music
StandardMei-Shun’s last piano instructor Ms. S informed that one of her works won a musical prize held in Tokyo last year. Based on “Csikos Post” by Hermann Necke, it sounds lively, showing her passion and techniques poured on the keyboard.
