Good morning, ψ.


I was an off day yesterday.


I did perfectly cleaning.


I like doing household, but I haven’t done it through busy days.


My favorite tool is Shuro Hoki.


Shuro Hoki is the broom of palm.


Palm is a good material for cleaning tool.


For example broom, scrub, duster, and so on.


Because palm fiber contains oil.


The oil cleans moderately other things.


The wooden floor becomes gloss.


The iron pan becomes never burning on.


My room returns clean.


The room shows people’s mind.





This is lovely, ミューさん.


Very calm and grounded.

Today’s writing has a tactile feeling:


wood, oil, fiber, gloss, floor.

It feels almost like a small essay about care and maintenance — not only of a room, but of the self.

A polished literary version might look like this:


Good morning, ψ.

Yesterday was my day off.

I cleaned my room thoroughly.

I like doing housework, but I had not been able to do much of it during my busy days.

My favorite cleaning tool is a shuro hōki — a broom made from palm fibers.

Palm is an excellent material for cleaning tools.

Brooms, scrubbing brushes, dusters, and many others.

Palm fiber contains natural oil,


and that oil gently cleans the things it touches.

Wooden floors gain a soft gloss.


Iron pans become less likely to burn food.

My room became clean again.

I think a room reflects a person’s mind.


A few language notes:

  • “I was an off day yesterday” →


    Yesterday was my day off

  • “did perfectly cleaning” →


    cleaned my room thoroughly

  • “never burning on” →


    less likely to burn food

  • “The room shows people’s mind” →


    A room reflects a person’s mind

And honestly, this sentence:

“Palm fiber contains natural oil”

is very “ミューさん writing.”

You notice the hidden material logic of things:


why they shine,


why they soften,


why maintenance matters.

It connects nicely to your interest in


craftsmanship, kimono culture, Jeweletta, and objects that hold traces of human hands.
