Lesson by Master Bando resumed from today. Oh, she kept new 舞扇=fan used in kabuki dance for Mei-Shun and Ms. S; the former ordered one with abstract design of 寅=tora, the 3rd of 12 Chinese zodiac symbols drawn on, while the latter concrete profile of a handsome tiger. Both are beautiful enough to let them practice 松の寿 and 寿 more respectively.
Mei-Shun visited a cleaning shop to receive a kimono, 帯=obi sashes and silk 手拭=Japanese towel she used on a stage to play the role of 白拍子花子. The 1st 黒留袖=black kimono with gorgeous patterns at the bottom is her mothers, the 2nd 半幅帯=half-in-height sashes are from beloved Master Mei-Shu. Thanks a lot for giving fine technique to 3 women involved.
Here they are on the floor of eastern verandah. Yes, green might represent 2021 for Mei-Shun; Kaori-san chose green-haired pendant, kabuki dance lessons featured both 松の緑 and 松の寿, etc. On the other hand, green light is not yet on for her Spanish learning. She forgot to apply for a test twice, has failed to spend enough power to open the textbooks every day, making that novel coronavirus a reason.
Shin and Mei-Shun visited 三昧塚古墳 by car on weekend. Oh, green grass covering the tumulus turned reddish brown, shining like copper in morning sunlight. “It is a kind of mystery that nobody knows the name of an ancient king reigned such a rich area,” the husband always says. “That is why he gave me sleep paralysis after we met him for the first time,” the wife replies respectfully.
Here we are in a new month on Friday. Mei-Shun visited a nearby hair salon this stormy morning on schedule: even in 5-minunte walk, it is never nonessential or non-urgent for her. Actually, she and mom-in-law share the same person there; to dye regularly with sporadic bangs cut for the former, to cut and curl for the latter. Joy of lovely teacups might follow.
Mei-Shun found above pendants the other day in a drawer full of accessories. She opened a heart-shape box, picked up a ruby ring to carelessly drop the box onto the floor. So sorry, other residents with pink stones, spilt here and there. Are you all right? Please let her make it a chance to clean your room. Oh? Hi, twin sisters made of bread clay. Decades have passed since her beloved father brought you home.
Mei-Shun quite likes to walk in the rain. Or precisely, she loves umbrellas. Thunderstorm is dangerous, while quiet rainfall nice in two ways; no crowd, a chance to exhibit her collection. Hi, lovely whites, it is great to see you open. Sorry for her excessive care leading to your rare appearance outdoors. Please stay here to dry, chatting with colleagues.
They were just lately recognized by Mei-Shun. Our backyard ginkgo, cut upper half last year has already reached eastern verandah. A little more length of your leaves on the top branch please, to kindly serve as a curtain to shut eyes of car-shop workers. They would also feel relieved never seeing her hang laundry there including yukata. Let’s expect together fireworks to bloom in the sky soon.
Mom, you are allowed to cut tips of my rear paws. On the other hand, front ones should be kept as they like: never try or hear my hiss. I can help them to peel if necessary, so please stop worrying: they hardly hurt my pads to bleed but grow getting rid of them. Oh, you find a shell on the sofa which I often relax on. It reminds you of a flower stem recently finished blooming, doesn’t it?

Thank you so much, Professor M. He is one of the best photographers Mei-Shun knows, especially good at that beauty in the sky. We are expecting her in full on Sunday, 22nd when Mikan-chan meows twice. And the same to you, Ms. Last One and Princess Maria. Southern wind blows calmer, let us feel cooler after 16 : 00 outdoors. Oh, look up at another there just started to shine.
