Huge congratulations to Meyada-san — she has officially reached Daimyō level! 👏✨ @Meyada M.m Reaching Daimyō isn’t just about points or time spent. It represents becoming a leader in our community — someone who brings energy, creativity, and kindness, and helps make this space fun and welcoming for everyone. 🗾🎨 Province Claimed: 武蔵（むさし）— Musashi As an artist who loves Ghibli and anime, Meyada-san chose Musashi, a province strongly associated with anime and manga culture. It’s a place of imagination, storytelling, and creativity — a perfect match for her artistic spirit. By claiming Musashi, she’s not just choosing a region; she’s setting the tone for creativity and inspiration within our community. 🈶 Japanese 大名（だいみょう） – Daimyō 武蔵（むさし） – Musashi おめでとうございます！ – Congratulations! 👉 メヤダさん、大名レベル到達おめでとうございます！ 🌱 Why This Matters Leadership here doesn’t mean being loud or perfect. It means being encouraging, creative, and present — and Meyada-san embodies that beautifully. Please join me in congratulating her 🎉 Who will be the next Daimyō to rise? Get to Daimyō level by contributing, liking and responding to posts! Which province would you claim?
