<p>先週の土曜日は品川宿場祭りの花魁道中でした！皆様がお越しいただきありがとうございました！そして、応援してくださって本当に感謝します。</p>



<p>Thank you for all of your support at the Shinagawa Shukuba Matsuri last Saturday! The Oiran Dochu parade was a great success!&nbsp;</p>



<p>It was a hectic day, but I am grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime experience to transform into the Oiran named Esaki Taiyu 恵穎太夫 (characters taken from my Chinese name but read in the Japanese pronunciation) to lead the procession as the first-ever foreign Oiran. </p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>朝から夜まで忙しい日でしたが、とても楽しかったですよ！一生に一度の新しい経験ができて、本当に幸せな１日でした！褒め言葉とカメラのシャッターがたくさん押されましたので、とっても素晴らしい雰囲気で楽しかったです♡　恵穎（えさき）太夫の花魁姿に変身した後はこんな感じでした！史上初の外国人花魁として、最高の一日となりました。</p>

<p>The whole outfit weighed close to 16 kgs! The Kimono and Wig, in particular, were very heavy, and my head and shoulders were very sore after the day&#8217;s activities. However, with the festive atmosphere, it was easy to forget about the costume and keep on with the show!&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>着物やかつらの重さで途中肩凝りと頭痛がキツイ時も多々ありましたが、沿道の声援が力となり、乗り切ることができたと思っています。でも、翌日は全身が筋肉痛でした。特に足が痛くなって、普段使わない筋肉を使ったからだと思います。そして、疲れすぎのせいで、風邪を引いて、熱も出て、大変体調が悪くなって、お休みさせていただきました。T.T</p>
