((Late mun is late, she blames her back))
From Kusuriyuri to Kurama: an intricately drawn picture of a silver fox curled around a rose in the snow.
From Kusuriyuri to A: A collection of symptoms and their treatments, a sort of handwritten physicians' guide, containing what has been studied and many things that have not yet.
From Kusuriyuri to Yukimura and Kuronue: A couple of volumes of shunga and a note promising to consider what had been brought up between them but not until after the start of the new year.
From Kusuriyuri to Wednesday: A collection of myths of the Japanese people.
From Yukimura to Kuronue: A
tobacco bon (with the Sanada mon instead of the Tokugawa, of course) and pipe.
From Yukimura to Sasuke: A full kimono set, including a nagajuban decorated with a scene of Fuji-san in the autumn with the Aokigahara at its base dragonflies flying around, a simple, dark green kimono, and a dark blue haori with an internal lining that has a scene of Fuji-san in summer at night with fireflies. On the back of the haori is embroidered the Sanada mon. Also included is a pair of dark blue hakama.
From Yukimura to Vladimir: A soft silk kimono-style robe patterned with red abstract flowers and fans over a black background.
From Yukimura to Mikami: A
tea set and some tea. A note is included: A delivery is scheduled for when shincha becomes available. I hope it is a good year. Let me know ♥ (which totally shouldn't be taken as fishing for an invitation).
To Near: A couple of new pairs of pajamas, very soft, and a new
toy To Rose: A collection of
papers and
pastels.
To Kurama: A collection of tropical bulbs and seeds, some of which were deliberately selected as either medicinal or aphrodisiacs, others simply for their colors and scents.
To A: A couple of new sweaters, one garishly decorated with a kitten in a Santa hat filling stockings by a hearth. The other is understated, an abstract pattern in muted greens and browns.
To Kuronue: Chinese finger cuffs.
To Miranda: A shawl resembling the summer sky with wisps of clouds.
To Kuronue: A note, though only a crude drawing of an orb, a reminder of his challenge.
To Kurama: A drawing of a mask and then a crown on a beaming face below it.
