APRIL NEWSLETTER
Hanami. A time to enjoy the fleeting beauty of spring, especially those fragile cherry and fruit tree blossoms which open, blaze like stars, and drift apart, petal by petal, floating away. In Japan we each took our lunch time bento box of delicacies to the shiro (castle) and in the castle gardens we'd sit under the many cherry trees and my Japanese colleagues would try to compose poems about how the falling petals should remind us of the ephemeral nature of life.
