This vase is made by 辻常陸 whose works of simple beauty attract us. It is Professor S. who first informed us on him — she gave Mei-Shun a mug to celebrate her late recovery. Not only drawings but also the kind-to-hand shape of his work lets you feel really refreshed after tea. Now, a thistle joined our table while full blossom of wisteria and three little butterflies wait for white flowers to top them.
Tora-chan was waiting for Mei-Shun at the porch this morning. She gently meowed asking a treat. Oh, your leg has recovered from the injury. You lost a little weight, didn’t you? All right, eat as much as you like. Purrrrr …
… for a whole day. We saw her bend the right, rear leg yesterday. It looked clear that she had a pain there, yet she never let us touch it. Did you fight with somebody? Or get a poisonous bite by a horsefly? Oh, you had no breakfast. We worried about her all day long. In the evening, when mom-in-law started watering the garden, she unexpectedly appeared from the mint bush. Welcome back, darling.
Professor S once told Mei-Shun that bracelets seemed to be for men. And that her husband, ex-ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiare, had asked his sweetheart to hand-make some. He is absolutely right — they must have ultimate power to protect him (^-^),
À la carte
It was a summer day of 2013. Mei-Shun shared a Chinese table with respectful “friends” for lunch in Tokyo. Professor S. gave these necklaces and pierces as a return gift: we had sent a bouquet to celebrate her birthday. Mammy beads are nicely arranged, made a good combination with the black dress Mei-Shun put on.
Mysterious Blues
You can find snowmen, cats, sea shells, etc. among these accessories hand-made by Professor S. Not only an excellent designer, she is also a fine judge for cute jewelries. Mei-Shun once accompanied to her favorite shop in Okachimachi, Tokyo. So many kind of beads are hung on the wall that it looks like a museum.
White Brilliance
Professor S. is so good at making accessories. She kindly asks Mei-Shun’s request for colors and designs, yet she knows her favorite well. Pink, from salmon- to rosy, is one of them. Please find below and enjoy. White, green and blue ones follow next time.
