Kitchen fm Kimono

Standard

Mei-Shun had put on 眼差しの貴婦人 for a bit longer than a whole year since she left kabuki dance classes. However, CT scanning has to refrain from any metals like this eye of a lady, made the owner take her off on Tuesday. Oh, how brilliant you are under sunshine! Yes, you could return to and stay on her left ring finger until next year, instead of week.

白拍子花子

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor M. His photo above seems to accommodate a lady sitting on folded legs, holds a ball. Her silhouette reminds Mei-Shun of the heroine of 京鹿子娘道成寺. Yes, this part requires dancers to walk and jump crouched. Such exercise never allows them to have tyres around waist. It would therefore be the best for the last 名取 of Kikunoe-Ryu to keep her body in shape.

Kimono Kitchen

Standard

Here comes a nice Friday to Mei-Shun who vacuumed rooms before hanging a silk one with an obi sash from Master Mei-Shu and obi-shime, a decorative string to hold it from Shin. Weekly schedule of the wife of the latter decided to include kabuki dance practice at home. Ms. Piano has to be played with long sleeves put in 襷掛け=tasuki-kake, cross binding by a 腰紐=koshi-himo cord.

Thrilling Tradition

Standard

Mei-Shun is a sumo wrestling lover. Or precisely, she might take it as a kind of artistic performance on a stage called 土俵=do-hyo ring. Gorgeous costumes 行司=gyoji referees put on, 弓取式=yumi-tori-shiki, bow-taking ritual held by a handsome rikishi warrior attract her eyes. Yes, she would pull sleepy kimonos and obi sashes out of drawers from next bouts in March.

Stage Snap

Standard

Amazing 13 years and a half have passed since Mei-Shun saw her beloved father depart. His younger daughter asked for a photo used at a hall. She recently found its frame got yellowish, changed from original silver. A new stand shaped like a pine cone was therefore purchased. Then she ordered a trial copy by her own picture, at a shop on the same floor with the place of みたらしちゃん.

Violet Velvet

Standard

Here is Princess Cymby with two bouquets. Mei-Shun feels really happy to see them grow day by day, while elder one already has a bud change into yellow from green. You take nearly a whole month to bloom, honey, who remind her of a decade before — sister Kasumi, another 名取 student of beloved Master Mei-Shu, kindly gave you to her after performing 島の千歳.

Better to Best

Standard

… Mei-Shun would like. She has enjoyed studying Spanish to prepare for a test on Sunday. Her priority is always given to support for Shin including good health of herself, house keeping second. Horsey riding, singing with Ms. Piano, practicing kabuki dance and something new follow as above language. Now shall she take another novel, or choose one to improve from her hobbies?

On and Over

Standard

Powerful Typhoon Nanmadol or No. 14 in 2022 made amazing 4 landfalls; 1st on 鹿児島=Kagoshima, 2nd 福岡=Fukuoka, 3rd 島根=Shimane and the last 新潟=Niigata this morning. Born nearby 小笠原=Ogasawara in Tokyo, it came from southern Kyushu to the north, did similar from western Honshu to the east. Mei-Shun is forced to stay home all day long; studying, cleaning, practicing 松の緑 and playing Ms. Piano.

Artistic Autumn

Standard

菊廼舎=Kikunoya kindly sent a seasonal brochure to Mei-Shun the other day. 冨貴寄=fuki-yose, their main and the best product reminds her of stages she performed so far — and shop name is similar to the party she belonged to. Master Mei-Shu, your last 名取 refrains from lessons these days. However, she never forget respect and thankfulness to you while love to dance.

Severe to Soft

Standard

It rained heavily this morning, made Mei-Shun quite worried about horsey-riding lessons she reserved in the evening. Sunlight seems to have chosen milder way, sometimes pats us on the back in the afternoon. Now could you dance, Mr. Hallelujah Sunday and Ms. Nuts, with her who puts on a vest works as an airbag instead of kimono?
