Clumsy Training, Weekly Short-Short Note Prompt, 410 Characters


"Starting today, it's legendary clumsy training! I'll fall with all my might, be laughed at with all my might, and then I'll become funny."

"Oh, young one. Is this your first time?"
Today the wind is calm, it's truly perfect weather for a "shuko" (stroll)."

"Shuko? I don't know any difficult words, but I'm prepared to put my body on the line! Even if I break a bone, I won't break my spirit!"

"Oh? You're quite fired up, but there's no intensity here that would break any bones."

"No, no, I understand. Learn by falling, find enlightenment by stumbling, right!?"

"No, first of all, this is a back alley in the shopping district, and the step is only about five centimeters."

"Eh, that's... plain!"

"In the first place, this is a 'roji-shuko' (alley stroll) to trace the memories of the town."
We walk quietly through alleys scheduled for demolition, thinking about the wind, the smells, the old signs, and the laundry on the windowsills."

"Eh, is this a spiritual thing? Don't you fall? Does no one?"

"Falling is a lapse of the heart."
And above all, this is not clumsy training, but a 'roji-shuko' (alley stroll)."
Look, even on the pamphlet—oh... 'clumsy training' is a typo."

What is a Roji-Shuko (Alley Stroll)?

An activity to rediscover the forgotten lives of people and the memories of the land by visiting "alleys" where the town's scenery and history are becoming buried. It involves taking photos and listening to stories from former residents.

----
As for the typo of 'training' (shugyo), I picked up 'shugyo' (ascetic practice), 'shugyo' (employment), 'shugyo' (end of work), 'shugyo' (learning practice), 'shuko' (stroll)... and when I looked them up one by one on Google

"Shuko" →

To go around:
"Shuko" expresses the appearance of going around or moving from place to place, regardless of location or time.

Since it said that, I combined it with 'roji' (alley) to create the word.
So, I don't know if 'roji-shuko' is a real word (lol).
