Koto no Kaori

Standard

…or scent of an ancient capital. Mei-Shun found a shop of 松榮堂=sho-ei-do, her favorite incense company in Kyoto. And it was Kaori-san who gave a cute sachet made by them before her friend from high school days had an operation. On the other hand, her first name means “fragrance” in our mother tongue. Such an attractive item might connect these 2 women giving them power to survive.

Mt. Marvel

Standard

Shin has reserved sea-view seats of shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto so far. This time let him keep ones to see great mountains including 伊吹山=Ibuki Yama. It has never been seen by the wife, made her almost shocked at its white brilliance covered with snow. Mt. Fuji is the highest in our country, eye candy of everybody. However, if another suddenly appears beyond green hills, which would you prefer?

Best Beauty

Mei-Shun means a gorgeous bouquet, a gift from Shin. Beloved father of the wife took good care of roses in his garden, kindly made an oil painting at the request of his younger daughter.

Aerial Angel

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Kyoto on weekend. Kaori-san, one of the best friends of the wife, holds an exhibition at “Merry-go-round” from recent birthday of the latter. Among works featuring many lovely girls, a new character caught her eyes — she just looks like Mademoiselle Angel. You are able to fly with silver, long hair spread like wings, aren’t you?

This is the last day of Mei-Shun at her present age. She and Mikan-chan would like to convey millions of thanks to you kind 512 followers for joining them so far. Here is their promise to continue efforts; dance with horsey, piano practice, kimono care, health keeping, etc. If they could help you to smile and relax a bit, it would let them step forward further.

One-One-One

Standard

Lunar December starts from today, meow. I and mom got on Ms. Scarlet toward our 2nd horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎 — 1st is Tsukuba from last month or solar December. A major reason for visiting the former is Mr. Danone Caesar, while minor to stay in a city whose name includes 2024 symbol “dragon” among 干支=eto or 12 emblematic animals of the year.

Nice Numbers (^^),

Standard

Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan enjoyed trotting with Mr. Crunchy followed by Mr. Mickey Love Song to dance a bit. Oh, this 恋歌 by that famous mouse is a scion of King Kamehameha. Himself was also a celebrated race horse, currently working for a club to lead a life all different from before. Now they would return home where a scale is ready. Feast of new year turned out to have left.

Nine Numbers

Japanese Culture@holiday

Standard

So 2024 sees the 2nd Monday on our national holiday: 成人の日=Coming of Age Day following January 1st 元旦=New Year’s Day. Mei-Shun replenished 2 茶筒=green tea cans, walked to a nearby hair salon in a down jacket of Shin who went into futon again after breakfast. He is a bit too big to step over and reach her wardrobe. When they went out for shopping together later, she put on a coat in color of orange or Mikan-chan.

Happy Birthday

Standard

… to you, mom-in-law. Mei-Shun enjoyed horsey riding, brought home a whole cake coated by whipped cream. Quite small size was chosen this year, hoping the former lady could eat up by herself: she always gives two third of bigger one. On the contrary, お節料理=o-sechi dish or new-year feast packed in layered boxes seems to stay around waist of the latter as half of a sugar bag.
