Aizu Women's House Rules

by secretarytocapt3

We are familiar with Aizu-han's house code which was geared towards
men (see Teruko Craig's Remembering Aizu: The Testament of Shiba Goro
-page 4- ISBN 0824821300).
Now, from studying the Shinsengumi and many related topics we have
learned of many strong women of that time period (such as the women of
Aizu).
Even in the world of fiction we have Megumi from Rurouni Kenshin is a
rare anime/manga character who is an older, attractive, intelligent
and independent woman.

What kind of rules would a woman from Aizu, Tokio, impose on her
household (especially on her husband should he step out of line).

Rules for the Women of Aizu
From a sacred scroll given to the women of the Takagi family now
presented to the future Fujita Midori.
(Revised by the matriarch of the Fujita family)

1) Should he come home late for dinner (even 1 minute late) you may
start shredding his fundoshi (1 for every 5 minutes he is late). If
you feel that the loss of his precious undergarments may result in an
irreversible mental break down, soak his uniform with the latest
popular women's perfume.
2) Should you ask a simple question and he DARES to reply by stating
"it is classified information" or otherwise ignores your respectful
requests replace the matcha powder in his green tea with a generous
amount of wasabi. If he prefers coffee replace java with soy sauce.
3) If your beloved decides to smoke indoors just because it is
raining or snowing outdoors, sew adorable bunny ears on his police hat.
4) If he decides to bring home another mouth to feed without warning,
"accidently" leave his sword collection on the curb.
5) Should he turn down a nice safe desk job in the police force for
dangerous spy missions threaten him with the possibility of a nice
desk job in a school filled with shallow immature constantly
giggling/peppy girls. If you even catch your usually loyal man making
a pass towards any one of students, mention to the principal that your
husband enjoys directing rickshaws in the rain, without an umbrella.
6) If he makes you iron out the teeth marks on his gloves tell him
that you would be more than happy to co-author the upcoming "tell all"
novel currently being serialized in a newspaper by one of his old pals.
7) If he forgets to promptly deposit his paycheck at the bank in your
account reveal your secret identity as the Hijikata Toshizo Fangirl's
Club president.
