Washing the back is not too much fun for her, although she doesn't fight
it. If you look at Karuna's behind, you can see a bluish patch. This is
a typical Japanese birthmark, and is called a "Mongolian spot" in Japanese.
It looks a lot like a bruise, and I was talking to another Japanese mother
who spent time in America, and said that some American mothers got angry
with her for abusing her child ... they assumed that the birthmark was
actually a bruise from spanking her child too hard.
