In Japan, we are familiar with a saying 見返り美人 mikaeri-bijin, literally means "a beauty looking back".

It seems to come from this famous Ukiyoe by HISHIKAWA Moronobu.

Even when the angle is different, a picture or painting of a beauty who is looking back is frequently referred to as "Mikaeri-bijin".

And the painting by Vermeer is one of them, and I have seen that picture of Yuzuru's had that caption of "Mikaeri-bijin" several times 

 

 

SuzyQ, thanks for the context....they are alluding to Yuzu as the 'beauty who is looking back'  just as the Vermeer portrays 'a beauty looking back'.......I get it now.  Of course, I agree. 

I originally thought that they were comparing a really ordinary photo to a world reknown painting.

Might have been already posted, but this "Haru yo koi" played by Nobuyuki Tsujii is really beautiful and soothing.

He says he played this great piece praying that this situation of Choronavirus will end soon.

 

 

I really miss Yuzuru 

 

 

 

If anyone is on Weibo I think you can try to enter this?

If I’m not wrong you have to follow Citizen on Weibo, share the post and comment what your Children’s day wishes are! And they’ll choose 3 lucky Fanyus on 1st June

Also regarding the Q&A apparently they haven’t received replies yet hahaha

Yuzuru....

Yuzu’s not over eager to answer those questions, right? 

Sorry I think OP deleted the original tweet from just now but they posted a new update with all the translations and screenshots:

 

 

 

 

 

Yuzu eight months from now: I answered every odd numbered question with a stop-motion claymation video and every even number with an abstract painting which you can view for a limited time on my Animal Crossing island, don't ask me for anything ever again *disappears*
