Your Japanese knowledge of stories and history are always amazing! Lot’s of fun things to read.
My most of history and Classical Japanese teachers at schools were very motivated teachers. They were pretty good story tellers. Some of them cried about history during their lessons because they were too excited to tell the stories… I respect Otaku teachers! I still remember their stories.
Anyway, it’s very elegant to wear “white night powder!” I never wore it in my life. Ancient ladies were very interesting.

haha history otaku. Am I a history and classical lit otaku... maybe so! I know what you mean. My favorite teachers in school were history and literature teachers, especially the ones who got very excited about some of the stories.
I love this haiku because of the images. A Heian lady calming applying her white night powder before her annual morning period is such a powerful image.
