This yukata or summer kimono is from mom-in-law. Since a bit small in size, Mei-Shun used it as an underwear for longer one to practice 恋の手習い. Washed over and over, it has become soft enough to change into a bathrobe. It often reminds her of Master Mei-Shu who also gave her last 名取 many including one the latter praised when the former lady put it on.
Hi, Mr. Happy Crescent, great to dance with you today for the first time. Still a boy at several years old, Mei-Shun quite likes his power, would like to control it. And the same to yours, Ms. Nuts, who helped her training in a class for 4th-grade aspirants. It seems similar to 名取 which beloved Master Mei-Shu always called an entrance. So there are 2 of it where this dancer/rider stands.
Mei-Shun went out early this morning with Shin to visit home of her parents. Mom invited her younger daughter to stay for a while with elder one as well. A welfare personnel came to check her health, decide if she is eligible to receive subsidiary money when put a handrail along porch stairs. Well anyway, it is great to meet your family in person, isn’t it? Thanks a million, daddy, for leading them to gather here.
Mei-Shun’s beloved father departed today 13 years before. He was a bit plump at current age of his younger daughter, who saw nice numbers on a scale yesterday after dancing with Mss. Sagittarius and Last One. Caused by 鹿の子餅=kanoko-mochi, soft and airy rice cake from Toyama Prefecture she enjoyed with Shin late last night, no appetite welcomed her this morning.
Ms. Piano, may Mei-Shun sing with you just slightly today? One of oven mitts has been worn thin too much to avoid heat, burned her right ring finger this morning. And a thunderstorm came in the afternoon, prevented her from going out for dancing with Princess Maria. She wishes it not to blow away that cute 山法師 flowers found in 乙戸沼 Park last weekend.
Mother of Mei-Shun still stays at 草津, where her eldest daughter and son-in-law kindly drove her to. Her younger daughter believes that beloved father always protects his widow wife, never worries about her sojourn there alone. Above is current image of ヤマツツジ in their garden, whom he could not enjoy since his wife found it several years before.
Ms. Piano, when Mei-Shun opens your lid for practice, beloved father sounds like saying welcome back. It was he who recommended you to his younger daughter at the age of 5. She used to play outdoors almost every day, all day long. Many children around her took lessons in 書道=shodo, Japanese calligraphy or そろばん=soroban, abacus calculation as after-kindergarten activities.
Mei-Shun walked 5 minutes to a hair salon this morning. While waiting for dyeing medicine to work well absorbed, she found a magazine featuring actress mother and daughter in nice kimono. The former is Ms. F whom beloved Master Mei-Shu admired while the latter Ms. T, elder sister of kabuki actor 尾上菊之助. He or Master Sen-Sha said that it was really sad to lose his party several years before.
Bota-mochi or Ohagi handmade on vernal/autumnal equinox respectively by mother is favorite of Mei-Shun, her elder sister and beloved father. Still haunted by that novel coronavirus, she has not been able to visit home of her parents on above days for as long as 2 years. She therefore plans to cook it by herself, went out for a hair cut at a salon nearby Tokyo Station instead.
Thank you so much, Professors. Mei-Shun received 銀のすず=silver bells made of sweetened bean paste and chocolate from Prof. K yesterday, while Prof. M would kindly drop in her place tonight. Oh, Prof. S living in Sendai sent her lovely items including a birthday card which accommodates a tiny piano last month: immediately after he accepted a box of chocolates from her.
