3月になって、巫女さんのお稽古がスタートしました

On March, the training has started for MIKO which means a female assistant in shrine.

巫女同期の、もう1人の巫女さんは
現役レースクイーンのモデルちゃん。

人を幸せにするお仕事がしたいと、巫女へと転身。

The other MIKO is a model at race circuit (so called race queen in Japanese)

Surprisingly, she wants to make people happier so changed the job to MIKO.

初日は現役ベテラン巫女さんに、教えていただき

お手伝いの仕方を学びます。
On the 1st day, an experienced MIKO taught us how to offer the special ceremony for visitors.

身長で、なぜかLサイズに分類された私服はでかくて重めです。笑

Due to my body height, MIKO's cloth size was L ... I don't know why. Anyway, it was a little bit too big and heavy....

まずは歩き方から。

すり足で、半歩ずつ進むようにとのアドバイス。

The 1st advice is about how to walk. Shuffle across Tatami carpets with half a step forward.

しかしこのすり足が思ったよりも難しい・・・

This was my 1 st time to shuffle across the carpet and It's CHALLENGING for me more than I expected...

地面に擦るよりも
左足と右足を擦りながら歩いて
うちまたで頑張って進む、変な動きに。
My way of shuffling was wrong. The accurate shuffling is done between tatami and my body.

However, I did between right feet and left feet.

Wired action because of walking with a pigeon-toed gait

足の長さが違うからか、左足と右足の幅が違うみたいで
これまたかなり、ギクシャクした動き。
I have different size legs so more difficult for me to try it.

Choppily.

歩くのから、いきなりハードルを感じるとは！！！

I didn't expect even walking is so challenging for me! lol

「そのうち慣れるよ」との優しい言葉をかけてもらったけれど

実はあんまり、自信がございません・・・

Everyone said I'll get used to doing that but I don't have enough confidence...lol

いつか、舞や雅楽もできるようになりたいなー

Someday, I wanna try dancing and playing the traditional music with special instrument.

こーゆーの。
