Day of Departure

Standard

This is for you, Master Mei-Shu. Your last 名取 is still too much in allergy to put on kimono, while ever loves and admires 和 atmosphere you kindly taught her. Please listen, or you might have already seen from aloft, her favorite sumo wrestler came back toward 十両 2nd highest rank called 関取, for his 3rd time meaning the 1st in history. 高砂 stable he belongs has other 2 guys newly promoted.

Lunar, Leap

Standard

… June starts from today. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet, whose thermometer showed incredible 43 degrees Celsius, toward their 2nd horsey riding club. Princess Maria, we have endured sweltering 6 days since last Sunday. Please let them return home, yet with an appointment to see you again a month later. They dropped in the nearest shrine, drew 大吉 and 吉 omikuji lots.

Questioning Quality?

Standard

Well, perhaps it is not. When Mei-Shun popped open a wet umbrella, its handle safely stayed in her hand while letting printed giant pandas jump onto garden turf. They came from Ueno Station, one of whose symbols is a zoo. She remembers the first couple came there called Lan-lan and Kang-kang. By the way, beloved dad-in-law worked for that public institution decades before.

桃 and 桜

Standard

Momo-chan, your flower shape resembles Ms. White. She is a lovely gift from a cherry tree behind a clinic Mei-Shun goes to see Dr. I, her home dermatologist. Allergy between clavicles still prevents her from putting on kimono — meaning kabuki dance lesson. That reminds her of recent news featuring actor 尾上菊五郎, or previous 菊之助 and our master 菊ノ上扇舎.

Vital Vogue

Standard

Mei-Shun needs to take a photo of herself for a health insurance card. Getting cooler, her allergy on front neck is recovering little by little. Would you kind 519 followers wonder what she is posting about? Well, she prefers shots in kimono given by beloved Master Mei-Shu. They cover her collarbones where she still feels like avoiding any clothes.

Fruit to Fish

Standard

This date a month has come again for me and mom to visit “Arles” on Ms. Scarlet. However, husband of beloved Master Mei-Shu Mr. O gave her a phone call in the morning. Frozen foods arrived from Hokkaido? He would like us to pick them up at his place? Sounds fine, purr. Shall we make a slight change in our plan? There is a doughnut shop just nearby.

Brilliant Balloon

Standard

So 桔梗=kikyo is called, perhaps coming from its bud shape. Mei-Shun’s mother sent her daughters photos taken in her 草津 garden. Single flower is normal for above breed, whose protandry might cause layered petals. Beloved father, your younger descendant heard that you asked a neighbor to give some seed of it. Thanks a million for letting us feel delight by marvel of nature.

脩 to 春

Standard

Amazing 6 years have passed since departure of that charming lady. Mei-Shun sent Mr. O, her husband a bouquet in light orange and pink shades. Thanks a million for conveying joy of dance and stage to your last 名取, Master. The latter got on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by Mikan-chan toward a nice flower shop just nearby a German restaurant Shin and his wife have a fondness for.

Mt. Morning

Standard

Sumo wrestling held in 名古屋 is heading toward 千穐楽, the last day on weekend. Mei-Shun’s favorite rikishi seriously injured in his 4th bout, has to stop attending competitions for a while; they say half an year might be required. It was his close buddy who caused this long leave. Well, such a job those big guys share. She made the latter her 3rd pet to cheer up.

Sumo Sakura

Standard

Mei-Shun’s 2nd favorite rikishi has changed his 四股名=shiko-na, name in 土俵 ring from coming 五月場所= May Tournament held in Tokyo. She means to treasure a towel his previous name printed on, used just twice in Fukuoka and Osaka. To her pleasure, today’s newspaper features his family who loves cherry blossom — it is the same as her beloved father.
