📚📚 Read every day challenge - Spring 2022 🌸 🌱

:tiger2: :books: Tanuki Den (aka Homepost): Date 20220401 :cherry_blossom: :raccoon:

Tanuki Scroll I: カチカチ山 :raccoon: :potato:

I have some maccha tea, I have some reading material, it is time to read!

Hey the site’s been updated a bit, with new pictures!

A rather easy story today since I don’t have a super amount of time.
Okay, that sounds like an excuse already, don’t worry reading神様 I promise this won’t become a thing and I will do a bigger reading tomorrow :pray:

But today’s story is about a mean tanuki, but bunny comes along to teach him a lesson.

New Things

裏山「うらやま」ー Mountain/Hill behind a village/house. Side of a mountain that gets little sunshine.
ヨボヨボ ー Unsteady; Shaky; Tottering
じじい「爺 - rarely seen」ー Old man (kinda insulting, like old geezer). Can also just be: じじ.
火打ち石「ひうちいし」ー Flint; Firestone. Can also be: 火打石. Or with a super cool kanji: 燧石 (this way can also be read as: すいせき).
塗り薬「ぬりぐすり」ー Ointment; Medicinal cream

ざまあ見ろ「ざまあみろ」ー “It serves you right”

Additional Meanings
悪戯「いたずら」ー I know this as “Prank” from WaniKani, but it can mean mischief too, is that already on WK too? I dunno, but I’m putting it here to remind me. I have checked, this meaning is not on WK, it is now a shiny new synonym. :sparkles:

Forgotten Readings

はたけ」ー Field for growing stuff/cultivated field I don’t know how I forgot this but the reading just wouldn’t come to me.
