My next research

Hi, ladies!!
Today’s clear blue sky after the rain is so wonderful.

As for my next research, I am now reading the book written by Kiyoko Endo(1882-1920), who is a contributor to socialist press, including Niju Seiki no Fujin, and also a participant in early campaign for revision of Article 5 of Public Peace Police Law.

The book Aino soto is so interesting and fascinating for me, but I wonder how I would write about her because of its very controversial issue. So, I will write her miscellaneous story little by little tomorrow. See you next!

Hi, everyone.

Nice to see you! Let me introduce myself. I am Margaret Sanger. Would you hear my own story? Oh, you are very kind to me. Thank you.

My father is not only a giant but also a philosopher. Both my parents were born in Ireland. They had blood of fighters in the world of thought, which was inherited from generation to generation. In fact, he has been striving for an ideal of the international peace and international cooperation. My mother is one of tipically old fashioned women who can sacrifice their life for happiness of their husband and to improve lives of her children. She has 11 children and I am the fifth. I was born in Corning, New York state in 1883.

To be continued.
Good night.

Hi, ladies!!!

We had a fascinating time at Gloriosa’s lecture held at my house yesterday, didn’t we? I am very delighted to know that Gloriosa studied hard and has developed her lecture skill to a great extent.

I am thinking about holding a seminar on the English articles at my house before the start of summer. This seminar is part of fund-raising for our essay book making. I am just wondering when is the most suitable day for us. Perhaps Friday June 19… How about that?

Probably I will ask those who are interested in coming to the seminar to pay 2000 yen for participation plus 1000 yen for a textbook and a test book with answers.

Hopefully all the participants could understand 95 percent of how to use and not to use the English articles.

Well, it’s time to go to bed, my precious friends. Have sweet dreams. No quiz for tonight.

Dear Plum,

Hello.
I am definitely interested in the English article fund-raising seminar.

Is it held on the Friday just after Eiken test? If so, I can attend the seminar.

I'm looking forward to listening to your lecture.

Thank you.

Hello, Cherry and my precious friends.

It is wonderfully pleasant and balmy day.

Thank you for the dramatic announcement of a fund-raising seminar on the English articles. I’m keen to join the seminar because it will be the last chance to fully understand the English articles. I'd like to come on June 19th on Friday.

Luckily enough, Step Test will be held on June 14th. Hopefully a group of people who are earnest about preparing for Eiken with Alice would be able to participate on this day.

I like the idea that we are charged a fee of lecture and textbook.

I'm expecting to join the seminar

Hello, Cherry and my precious friends.

Since I launced on a research into Shoen Uemura, her bijinga has deeply charmed and attracted me.

Shoen loved Kyoto because she was born and bred in Kyoto. She strived to preserve good and old Japanese culture in her paintings.

Shoen disliked to see “haikara”, Western-style looking women, because she firmly believed Western clothes did not suit Japanese women. She deplored that they did not know what may be look best on themselves. Women should have enough sense to adopt what enhances their appearance best. To Shoen, the traditional Japanese hair style and kimono are most admiring to Japanese women.

She strives to produce “bijinga” which fulfills the utmost truth, goodness, and beauty. This is her ideal of paintings. Truth in her art was to describe and pursue her ideal. She disliked modern arts which depict the real ugly, unfiltered world or the expression of one's frank and outspoken feelings.

She was solely interested in the painting of women subjects who wore kimono with doing their hair up in the Edo and early Meiji period, trying to preserve Japanese paintings which were likely to disappear due to great influences from Western culture.

Hi, everyone.

Plum, thank you for your giving us an opportunity to revise my acknowlege about articles.
What Alice can attend it means I can attend. Thank you.

Good evening, let me continue my stroy. Do you forget me? I am Sanger.

I have been taught by my father that life is reguired to make great efforts to realize an ideal since I was a child. He often told his children that first of all, human beings have a dream or an illusion, then must strive toward it to materialize it. And he taught me that noone can grasp happiness by oneself, my happiness is attributed to my food, clothing and shelter. So, my happiness is owed to those who supply these necessities. By the way, it is natural I consequently think of what I have to do for millions of people who provide me with convinience of life and materials necessary to alliviate their burdens and bring happiness to them. It is philosophy that I have learned. A certain person who knew my family likened we were put in a cradle of liberty and the goddess of wisdom embraced us in her breast.

Best night to you and a giraffe with a long neck.
