A Gift from My Sister

“To Ms Oshin, from Tuly & Omi.”

Few years back, Tuly & Omi brought me gifts, all Japanese type, and wrapped in with a wrapping paper, and the most beautiful thing that I liked is that they addressed me, “To Ms Oshin, from Tuly & Omi.”

Why was I happy?

‘Oshin’ was a Japanese drama I used to watch many years back, when I was a teenager, and people used to say that I looked like Oshin. I like all the traits that the character Oshin portrays in that serial.

I love Japan. I had a big dream to visit Oshin’s place in Japan that is Yamagata. “Oshin’s story taught us that no matter how difficult your life is, being brave can help us get through it,”

Oshin (おしん) is a Japanese serialized morning television drama (asadora), which originally aired on NHK from 4 April 1983 to 31 March 1984; it is the 31st asadora overall to be produced. The 297 15-minute episodes follow the life of Shin Tanokura (田倉しん, Tanokura Shin) during the Meiji period up to the early 1980s. In the work, Shin is called Oshin, an archaic Japanese cognomen.

It was one of the country’s most watched serials of all time and has aired in 68 other countries, with subtitles ranging from English to Arabic.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshin

Thank You Tuly & Omi.
