①シェアハウス漫画
シェアハウスなんて言葉は無い時代ですが、古き良き共同生活を伝えるための教材（笑）として「ツルモク独身寮」と「めぞん一刻」を置いてみました。ツルモクは描かれるファッションにバブルの香りがたっぷりだし、めぞん一刻は響子さんがとにかく素敵ですね。響子さんは着任初日から屋根の雨漏りをDIY直してる😆。

②室内花見用の桜と藤
春が待ち遠しいので、花咲く木々を導入してみました。早咲きの河津桜と、普通の吉野桜、そして桜のあとに咲く藤です。うまくいけば３，４，５月あたりで楽しめるかな？？
住人のみんながちゃんと水あげてくれるかどうか😅

③ダイニングのコーナー棚
ダイニングテーブルを整理するため、ちょっとした棚をDIY。テーブルの向こう側に人が座る場合を考え、上に跳ね上げられるように蝶番で壁に留めています。ホームセンターでけっこう悩んでつくりました（苦笑）。

① Share house manga
Back in the day there was no such thing as a “share house,” but as teaching material (lol) to pass on the spirit of good old communal living, we put out copies of “Tsurumoku Dokushinryo” and “Maison Ikkoku.” Tsurumoku is absolutely dripping with bubble-era fashion, and in Maison Ikkoku, Kyoko is just wonderful — fixing a leaky roof herself, DIY-style, on her very first day on the job 😆.

② Cherry blossoms and wisteria for indoor hanami
We’re impatiently waiting for spring, so we brought in some flowering trees. There’s an early-blooming Kawazu cherry, a regular Yoshino cherry, and wisteria that blooms after the cherries. If all goes well, we should get to enjoy them somewhere around March, April, and May? 🤔
The question is whether everyone in the house will actually remember to water them 😅

③ Corner shelf in the dining area
To help keep the dining table tidy, we DIY’d a little shelf. Since people sometimes sit on the far side of the table, we mounted it on the wall with hinges so it can be flipped up out of the way. We agonized over the details at the hardware store for quite a while to get it just right (lol).
