(From "word of spirit" by Yasukuni Shrine)
"Emiko-chan, have you been going to school every day?
Will not you take the lunch box yet?
School will be very interesting. Then at home we will not be scolded for listening to what my mother said.
Would you like a little amulet? In case
This time, I am in the far side of "distant" China, so from time to time I can not go home as usual.
Frequently, listen to what the mother and grandmother say, make them clever, and help your house.
I also study the school well.
Dad also will return home with a souvenir soon, please wait looking forward to it.
Bye now. "
