The Art of Japanese Culture through Untranslatable Words; Monday, Fourth Period [04/12].
Blessed as he was to have been able to be untouched once more by this particular bout of Fandomness, Shunsui wasn't exactly sure what the current...offspring situation would be in classroom that day, but he brought a little extra tea and hot cocoa in the event that it was still going on and his students found themselves with wee little sproglings of his own.
That, he didn't mind. Other people's children were delightful and he actually didn't mind children, as long as that particular descriptor of other people's was firmly in place.
There were also a few sweet pastries and treats from the bakery to be had today, as well, since it would tie into their word of the week nicely.
"Konnichiwa, ducklings ♥!" he started once it was time for class and it looked as though it was going to be business as usual after all. "Welcome back ♥! I hope your weekend wasn't too much of a trial, but, with that in mind, we are going to do an easy word today, once that I'm sure most people can relate to, and gives us an excuse to nosh a bit on some doughnuts and cupcakes today &hearts. Today's word is:
kuchisabishii
口寂しい
(lonely mouth)
"Directly translated, kuchisabishii means 'lonely mouth,' though it does not, in fact, relate to one who has had the misfortune of not nearly enough kisses, but rather, it related to food and the tendencies some have to eat--" or, in some cases, drink, but this was a classroom!--"merely because we are bored, rather than out of actual hunger. That occasion when you mindlessly graze while perhaps watchihng television or doing little else. It can also relate to stress eating, when we distract ourselves from what may be causing us undue worry through the satisfaction of food. Now, many of our words have emphasized the Japanese appreciation of mindfulness, but kuchisabishii is a word that shed light on the exact opposite and the habits one might fall into when one gives in to such idle mindlessness ♥. Or perhaps there's a particular food that you crave when you are more idle or 'mouth lonley,' as it were. That also falls into the concept of kuchisabishii.
"So today? Let us enjoy a few snacks and drinks to stave off our own mouth loneliness, and we can think about times throughout the week when we find ourselves idly snacking out of lack of anythihng else to do ♥. Are there any foods you fall to in your own kuchisabishii? Or perhaps you possess a higher resolve than most and are fairly unfamiliar with it in your own lives. Have some tea, and let's discuss ♥."
