麗子

[GM Maru's Note]
True refinement is not something that is put on display. It shows naturally in one's daily manners and in the small details of one's words.
Raised as the daughter of a distinguished family, surrounded from childhood by a fine education and deep affection, she has cultivated a rich sense of culture and a modest, gentle character. She is truly a thoroughbred of good family.
Beauty, intelligence, dignity, and gentle reserve.
And above all, a warmth as a person.
She embodies all of these naturally, and she is an exceptionally beautiful married woman with absolutely no industry experience.
Her graceful, demure beauty brings to mind the beautiful actresses of years past.
She does not rely on flashy outfits or heavy makeup; she is more than lovely as she is, a beautiful, well-composed, classic married woman.
She carries a crisp air of elegance, yet her expression is always gentle, and the warm smile she occasionally shows has a way of softening the hearts of those who see it.
Her beauty is not the kind that competes in showiness. From her bearing, her expressions, and every gesture, a refined allure quietly emanates.
Dignity lives within her beauty, and within that dignity a feminine glow blooms. She is truly a wonderful married woman.

Raised with care by her father, who works at a well-known major trading company, and her mother, who comes from a prominent family in the countryside, is Reiko. From early childhood she went through the entrance examinations for private schools, studied at a prestigious private school, attended a long-established six-year girls' school where many young ladies from good families enroll, and then went on to a prestigious private university.
During her university years she also obtained a teaching license, and she has worked at a medical facility run by her relatives, so her intelligence and diligence are beyond reproach.
However, when speaking of Reiko's charm, the point I most want to highlight, beyond her education and family background, is the family that nurtured her beautiful character.
Her mother and grandmother both worked in the geisha quarter teaching kimono dressing, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement. They are women who possess a cultural refinement of Japanese arts and a dignified beauty.
No matter their age, they wear kimono beautifully, and they treat everyone equally with kindness and warmth. Her mother and grandmother were, she says, the best examples she had since childhood.
Beautiful manners, modest speech, consideration for others, and a habit of approaching everything with care.
I feel that she has naturally inherited these important lessons through her everyday life.
