匠の餅
千子村正からのお返し。
寒い冬の役立ちアイテム、村正手製の火鉢。
本人は「餅が本命だ、さっさと食え」と言っているが、
気合いと手間のこもった逸品である。
火鉢に願掛けされた言葉は『無病息災』。
それが一番大事だと言わんばかりに。
Artisinal Mochi
Return gift from Senji Muramasa.
A hibachi—a Japanese brazier—made by Senji Muramasa, which is sure to be handy during cold winter days. Muramasa claims "the mochi's the intended gift, so hurry up and eat it," but they are both precious gifts with a great deal of thought and effort put into them. The inscription on the hibachi says "Be of sound health." It's as if he's trying to say that that's the most important thing to be.
