Hiii! I hope that you're having a day. I won't say good because of all that happens in the world, it cannot be a good day for anyone who cares.
In the midst of all this, between staying informed and sharing what I know, I'm looking for a bit of a temporary solace through roleplay.
Could you please share with me your favorite short-haired Japanese women? Any age, but 30+ would be appreciated! Thanks a lot.
And if you can't, that is perfectly fine.
I hope your day goes on alright, and that everyone you meet masks up and cares as much as you do.

Terada-ya, Otose
Otose (around 1829 - September 7, 1877) was a landlady of the Teradaya Inn, who lived during the end of the Edo Period, the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Plaque of her at the Ryoma museum in Kochi.
Otose was born as a second girl to Jubei OMOTO who run a Japanese-style hotel in Otsu. Although Otose got married to Inosuke TERADAYA, the sixth landlord of the Teradaya Inn (an inn for sailors in Fushimi, Kyoto), Inosuke deteriorated his business for being debauched and even died young for excessive drinking. Therefore, she had taken charge of running the Inn since then. As Otose originally liked taking care of people, she voluntarily protected soldiers who had the thought of Sonno Joi (reverence for the Emperor and the expulsion of foreigners) such as Ryoma SAKAMOTO from the bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), although the bakufu wanted to expel them. Therefore, Otose was once regarded as a dangerous person by the bakufu and had a narrow escape from being imprisoned.
In 1863, after feudal retainers of the Satsuma Domain killed each other in the Teradaya Inn (the Teradaya Incident), Otose ordered her servants to replace battered tatami (mats) and fusuma (sliding doors) immediately to prepare for resuming a business. It is said that she continued to hide Ryoma and other soldiers of Sonno Joi sometimes even after the Incident. Otose died in 1877.
Sakamoto Ryōma - man modeled after Sakamoto Tatsuma and the person who Gintoki is based on [I’d really appreciate if you could check out my other posts after this, if you haven’t already].
In most of the letters written by Ryoma to Otose, Ryoma described some personal requests or his frustrations associated with his work to Otose.
Terada Anayo (Otose) from Gintama
Mistress of the Teradaya boathouse in Fushimi from Bunsei 12 (1829) to Meiji 10 (1877). Died at age 49. Born in Outsu, Oumi Province (Present day Outsu City, Shiga Prefecture).
Jirochou Doromizu, Terada Ayano & Terada Tatsugorou
Married to the sixth Teradaya (proprietor) Isuke, she succeeded her husband, who had a weak constitution, in the family business of serving food. She was dedicated to assisting people.
Isuke died in Genji 1 (1864) but she protected the Teradaya by not remarrying. Because Ryoma was in and out consulting with Satsuma-han in the summer of Keiou 1 (1865), he entrusted Oryo, who he also met in this period, to Otose.
Otose teasing on the Oryo and Ryōma roles [srsly see my other posts pls]
Later, on January 23, Keiou 2, Ryoma was attacked there by the police, subordinates of the Fushimi Magistrate, and seriously injured.
Ryoma, indebted to the proprietress, still missed her. We think she sat to be photographed but the bench is erased and she appears to be floating in space. As might be expected from a celebrated heroine, the fighting spirit she showed protecting the inn after the death of her husband was in the air. While Otose was caring for Ryoma, Ryoma probably carried quite a warm friendliness towards her.
I wanted to post this in honor of mother figures everywhere for Mother’s Day. I hope everyone had a great one with theirs.🕊
