Noble Cousins!
Greetings from Solveig! I just recieved a copy of a promissing book via inter-library loan today. Having thumbed through it, I can say that it not merely cites, but liberally quotes quite a few of the original sources that I have been chasing around after. This book will be of interest to those of you who read Japanese.
Nagayama Hisao, Nihon Kodai Shokujiten, Toyoshorin, 1998
ISBN 4-88721-330-1

Solveig my Clan Sister...
It was good seeing you over the year end holidays, and I had great fun in the YK present exchange...I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did.
You will be glad to know that Saiaiko-hime has hung her Black Velvet Elvis Poster properly on the wall in her appartment, so you need not worry about her getting tears on it...Thanks for your help showing her how to roll and tie it...
Now..on to new business!
I am entirely excited for you but I must humbly beg...What is your new loaner book about? You know I read enough to get by, and have a library full of jiten...but I would be more happy knowing what you were joyfull about! :-) That, and those on this board who might not know what Nihon Kodai Shokujiten is...perhaps you could illuminate for them!
:-)

Date dono!
Greetings from Solveig! The book, Nihon Kodai Shokujiten, is a kind of cyclopedia of pre-Muromachi food or was it pre-Kamakura. The title makes it sound like it should be restricted to earlier food, but it actually isn't. It has a rather nice article about so which includes quotes from the Engishiki and Ishinpo.
You should have asked to see it on Friday. It was in the car. Over the weekend, my copy of Naracho Shokuseikatsu no Kenkyu (Research Notes on Dietary Culture of the Nara Court) arrived over the weekend. I may have the only copy in North America as WorldCat fails to find any holdings of this title. Incidentally, congratulations on your recent elevation and court appointment.

My clan sister Solveig,
I was rather busy and did not even think to ask to look at your book, much to my dismay! I would like to see the book sometime if you are so inclined.
Thank you again for the wonderful scroll appointing me to, among other things, a court ranking and a position to the ministry of garments...it is a position that I will work on to make sure I am educated enough to fulfill!
(For those that do not know, Their Majesties of Aethelmearc have appointed me to the Position of Junior Deputy to the Ministry of Garments of Aethelmearc this past 12th Night - I have been inducted into the Order of the Fleur of Aethelmearc and recieved a lower sixth rank rating)
Our wonderful Lady Solveig produced an incredible scroll appointing me to this position - I love it, and only hope to fulfill my imagined duties with much honor!
I will continue to attempt to educate those of our clan, and those who fall outside the boundaries of our clan into the ways of proper Japanese Kuge and Buke, and humbly bow for the honor of having received a work of art from your hand!
Domo arigato gosaiimashita Kitahama-Sensei!!!
Rei!
Date

Sure you do! I am getting to know you!
Our Lady Minamoto no Taikawa Saiaiko-hime, who just got an award of arms from Their Majesties of Aethelmearc this past 12th Night, (congradulations dear Lady!) was given a real antique 16th cent. silk painting of her heroine Tomoe Gozen, that measures something in the range of 15"x 60"...by our Clan Daimyo Sir Ogami Akira.
It is a lovely thing that now graces her sleeping quarters in her appartment. We will take good pics of it and post it on the Clan site as soon as we are able.
It is jokingly refered to as "The Black Velvet Elvis Painting!" There was much subtrefuge in its presentation, so that she would not know what it was.

Omedatou gozaimasu, Dear Friend! (He outranks me. Swoon. Flutter! Sei Shonagon always said Sixth Rankers were hot!) I always knew you were quite civilized for a Mutsu boy. ;D

I am always so late (fashionably?) to these discussions.
Thank you very much for your cheers on my new status.
The painting is quite lovely and looks damn sexy on my Chinese red walls. I will get a picture of it up as soon as possible. As for the subterfuge, they all nearly had me in an convulsive fit by the time the gift was given, after merciless teasing me since Pennsic and giving me a decoy gift immediately previously.
Sigh, friends and enemies and such. (wink)
