Spring is upon us.
(This was published on our old site in March 2015.)
At the entrance of our classroom in Kasahara is a plum tree. Our landlady skillfully prunes it every year.
Undaunted, lithe new branches have reappeared soon to be dusted by a delicate pink, cream and mustard blossom.
Many students admire and comment on the tree’s beauty.
Welcome back.
