Over a year ago, in my Longing For Spring article, I mentioned that every year we go to Kasai Flower Garden. It took a little longer than expected this year, mainly because it’s been so cold and roses are blooming much later, but Masumi and I made the trip this past weekend.
It’s about a one-and-a-half hour drive but very much worth it. Here are some photos, both of the extraordinary grounds and the greenhouses, among the best I’ve ever encountered.
While the world seems it’s becoming more chaotic by the day, economies fall apart, and many folks are worried about the future, life here in Japan, at least for us, is pretty decent. Let’s hope our good fortune holds and the rest of the planet rediscovers what’s important in life and how much value there is in every human being.
