| Sakura planting at Yamasa |
Along with soil and water, we played with cow poo when planting twelve cherry blossom trees in a bare piece of land behind campus following orientation... the transience of the cherry blossom a fitting expression of our time here in Yamasa. As my previous textbook so elequently puts it, 「パッと咲いて、パッと散る」。
10 years from now, these metre high twigs will blossom into beautiful giants.
I hope it doesn't take that long for our Japanese to improve!
