Before Shiokumi …

Standard

Master 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“.

Warm Menu

Standard

Mei-Shun read that dried mushrooms taste good. Stored for longer, they make nice combination with miso soup, nabe, flavoured rice, etc. It is fine today, sunny enough in our living room. Would you like music too, Mesdemoiselles?

Old New

Do you know the word kawatare? It can be written like 彼は誰, meaning the time dark enough to wonder who is there in older Japanese. It first included both sunrise and sunset, yet soon the latter has been replaced with tasogare or 誰そ彼. Thanks a lot, kotobank.
