157. These Are Good Hands Whenever Oyasama was tired, granddaughter Hisa Kajimoto would say, "Please let me massage you." "Please give me a massage," Oyasama would say. So Hisa would massage Her. When she was finished, Oyasama would take Hisa's hands and say: "These are good hands," and would gently stroke them. Oyasama also used to say as if She were singing: "You do not need any money to be devoted to your parents. Just give them a massage to make them happy."
