The season of fresh greenery has come.
Spring winds and lush plants make us feel cleansed.
It’s the time when people who have started new lives (in the Japanese new start for companies and schools) are gradually regaining their composure and pacing their lives.
In these hectic modern days, we tend to lose a sense of ourselves, while being swayed by changes around us.
What are the things that we really want to do?
What things are the most important to us?
We should stop and take time to reflect calmly on our lives.
Arranging flowers is a reflection of ourselves.
So, ikebana, which can embody what we think and feel, may be a way to know our own minds.
Holding flowers in our hands clarifies our thoughts ... I hope that all of us will have such times in May with its fresh greenery.
