Happy New Year!
Wishing you all a happy and prosperous year ahead.
I'll do my best again this year, so I'd be thrilled if you could cheer me on.
At Japanese shrines, there are women called shrine maidens.
During New Year's, many college students (and maybe high school students too) work part-time as shrine maidens.
This month, I'll be sharing stories about these shrine maidens.
I hope you enjoy them, even just a little.
Ms. Osakabe did an excellent job of translation again this month.
Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful translation despite your busy schedule.
Here you go❤

How was it?
Personally, I've always loved shrine maiden outfits and used to draw pictures of shrine maidens a lot.
I've actually worn a real shrine maiden outfit myself about twice when working part-time jobs. (Though not at a shrine, mind you.)
I haven't gone to the shrine for the first visit of the year yet, so I'm thinking of going once it gets a little less crowded.
I pray that all of you reading this will enjoy a happy and healthy 2026.
See you next month! :)
