Kiichi's Takageta
A pair of Kiichi Hogen's takageta...elevated wooden clogs.
They're unceremoniously lying on the ground, likely kicked off when she came into the house from the courtyard. It seems the wearer was in quite the hurry. She wouldn't have bothered to remove them if bad news was what made her rush, so it must have been good news.
You can just imagine the great mentor of the East in a good mood. She'll be laughing merrily: "Kanra, kara kara!" While this is both a charming and adorable image, you need to hurry... If she rushed in only to find nobody inside the mansion, even the mild-mannered mentor may get cranky.
"Heeey, is anyone here!?"
Ah, do you hear her?
Let's hurry!
