I just love the fact there are also lilies in this photo. How appropriate.

Time and Fujinoism

To run on ‘Shizuru time’ means to do things when they suit you, not when they suit others. A Fujinoist must find a healthy compromise between this lifestyle and what needs to be done.

Unlike in anime, we will be fired for slacking.

Shizuru met Natsuki in when she was in her final year of middle school and Natsuki in her first. In the anime however, when they first meet Shizuru is wearing a high school uniform.
Alas, poor continuity.

I will always think of Iku Nanazuki’s Doropanda Tours as being the official manga of Mai HiME.

MUnchkin and Fujinoists Alike

In March I formerly introduced Fujinoism to a Mai HiME/Otome forum called Mai Universe. In this thread members are able to post their own thoughts and discoveries regarding Shizuru and contribute to the knowledge base of Fujinoism.

Since it is difficult to quote discussions here, I encourage you to visit the thread to see what other Fujinoists have to say about our goddess. Perhaps you may even have some thoughts to add!

Also remember, contributions to this tumblr are open as are questions. ^^

Shizuru’s Favourite Quote

On Bandai’s official english website for ‘My-HiME’, this is quoted as being Shizuru’s favourite word or phrase:

O’ life, if thou art to end, then end.
For if thou art to linger,
the secret passions in mine heart shall fade,
and that I cannot have.

The source is given as ‘the famous Hyakunin Isshu’ and for many people that means absolutely nothing.

A Hyakunin isshu is a traditional collection of, as the name suggests, roughly one hundred poems by one hundred poets. The Hyakunin Isshu is one composed by Fujiwara no Teika, a classical Japanese poet and critic, who seems to have originally used these poems to decorate his home in Ogura, Kyoto. Due to this the collection was once known as Poems from the Cartouches of the Ogura Mountain Villa.

Shizuru’s chosen poem is number eighty nine, for which this site has given the translation as:

Like a string of gems
Grown weak, my life will break now;
For if I live on,
All I do to hide my love
May at last grow weak and fail.

It was written by Princess (or Naishinno, meaning imperial princess) Shikishi or Shokushi; a poet and shrine maiden turned Buddhist monk.

Another translation of the poem is:

Life! Thou string of gems!
If thou art to end, break now.
For, yet I live,
All I do to hide (my love),
May at least grown week (and fail).

So in summary, one can say that Shizuru knows her classics. ^^;

In times of doubt…

In times of doubt a Fujinoist must always ask herself; what would Shizuru do?

“ A nasty girl, right off the bat…[laughs]. But in spite of what I said, I fell right inline with her. She’s the kind of woman who makes you wonder what’s behind her smile…
Shindou Naomi in response to her initial impression of Shizuru.
