I like writing words from old children’s songs. And these fans are some of the results, and are my favorite, as well. However, they are nowhere to be found, even though I cleaned up my house. I wonder if I gave them to someone as presents.

古い童歌の詩を書くのが好きで、この団扇もそうですし、自分でも結構気に入っていたのですが、家を片付けても何故か見当たりません。誰かにあげたかしら？

On these fans, I wrote the initial letter of my late mother’s name, a passage from an old children’s song and my favorite phrase, “breaking into a broad smile” for my mother. She used to use a fan quite noisily before falling asleep on the bed on summer evenings. Thus, these all are worn-looking but somehow, I feel like keeping them.

亡母のために書いた団扇です。母の名前の字と童歌の一節と「破顔一笑」。母は夏の夜、寝る少し前ベッドで団扇をバタバタと使っていました。それでぼろぼろですが何となく置いています。
