Thank you so much, Master Bando, Mss. S and K who advised Mei-Shun to use anti-inflammatory patches. She actually had pain again after trying horsey riding on 9th — had been happy for losing it. It continued for a whole week this time, then moved to left groin. Hearing such a story, gentle master gave this 名取 of another party above medicine prescribed by her own home doctor.
Mei-Shun continues practice of 松の緑. Master Bando kindly gave her its hand-written score consists of 9 pages. She managed to reach 7th, began to catch lyrics. Interestingly, Shin chooses favorite songs by what they say, while his wife by how melody sounds. However, when she moves to music, story becomes very important in order to play a kind of role.
Mei-Shun wishes. She found a summer hemp kimono descended from beloved grandmother of her mother’s side the other day, stored in a box put on bedroom 広縁=hiro-en, indoor verandah. A bit spots, yet has no problem for kabuki dance lessons. Actually, it was too tight to move smoothly years before when she had several more sugar bags around waist.
Mei-Shun has become in hobby. She plays piano from 5 years old, had taken lessons till 18. Her university days were full of Shakespeare. After marriage and moving into Ibaraki, she found a photo of Master Mei-Shu in a stage costume on PC and was very much interested in kabuki dance. And it was Shin who recommended horsey riding 6 years before.
Mei-Shun started to take lessons in 松の緑=”Green of Pine” by Master Bando. Simple, yet therefore difficult to follow her properly. 名取 candidates of her party would dance this score in front of 家元=yie-moto, a kind of CEO. Some of them were tense so much that turned to the left instead of right, above lady told three Tuesday-comers. That is the way an ex-白拍子花子 here often does.
Do you kind 405 followers wonder why Mei-Shun mentioned her ring in kabuki dance lessons? Actually, students are supposed to remove any metal accessory when they meet masters. Master Mei-Shu never told her last 名取 about it, while the latter learned that custom from 嘉咲-san who showed her sample lessons. It was amazing 13 years before, fills her mind with admiration and thankfulness.
Mei-Shun meant to visit Master Bando today with a kimono in blue, cherry blossom patterns sewn by a friend of beloved Master Mei-Shu. However, iris one is available in current season only while the above all through the year in our country. She therefore wrapped the former into 小風呂敷=ko–furoshiki a small, square piece of silk and changed 眼差しの貴婦人 to Ms. Blue, her engagement ring.
… and dance Mei-Shun have done. She visited Master Bando’s place on Sunday for an irregular lesson, met with Ms. Sagittarius and Mr. Opal on Monday, took a regular lesson from above lady again while an appointment with Dr. M yesterday, saw Princess Maria and Ms. Last One today. Now are you kind followers able to recognize one who is not her partner to dance with?
Mei-Shun put on yukata, cotton kimono for summer yesterday at Master Bando’s place. Since weather forecasts said it would hit 25 degrees Celsius, she gave up normal one in yellow coordinated with Shin’s amber. Even if it is 単衣=hitoe or single, you have to be wrapped by 襦袢=juban underwear on European/American style. On the other hand, yukata works as a kind of lingerie by itself.
Mei-Shun finally saw a DVD of her performance last year as 白拍子花子: it took her 4 months to be courageous enough. Oh-oh, she makes too much bending and extending in knees to look stable — please stop jumping around the stage. More shocking is that she almost stands still showing her back and obi sash to audience, even if she meant to turn head to the left with shoulder going down toward the floor.
