Dondohare/どんど晴れ






















This is my new favorite Japanese show! Dondohare is a daily 15 minute drama on NHK. I recently found out that the actress who plays the lead role, Natsumi, is from Okinawa. The show’s story line is easy to follow, so the fact that I only understand about a ¼ of what is said doesn’t seem to be a problem. The show takes place at a Ryokan (expensive Japanese inn or guest house). Natsumi is working hard to one day become the head lady of the Ryokan which her fiance’s family runs. She comes from a lower class than her fiancé and is being taught many of the traditional Japanese arts such as ikebana (flower arranging) and tree shaping in the gardens. She has great character and possesses much of the qualities that I found in many of my Japanese (women) friends. Although she constantly has to overcome hurdles, to include some of the other workers and family members not liking her very much (jealousy), I am sure that Natsumi will prevail in the end as she is always giving 110%!
