Wikipedia states: Every year the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the public track the sakura zensen (cherry-blossom front) as it moves northward up the archipelago with the approach of warmer weather via nightly forecasts following the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. The beautiful blossoms are enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. Cherry blossom is an omen of good fortune and is also an emblem of love, affection and represents spring.
From Eiko Shoji comes the following message to all our IPWSO family:
"Thank you very much for forwarding messages from the IPWSO members to me. I learned that our friends all over the world were praying for us. Certainly their prayers gave us strength, and were answered.
I'm really grateful to you all being so thoughtful and helpful for us this time. I think Japan will still have to go through a difficult time for some time, but it is a great encouragement to know that our friends are always with us."
Eiko also told us that all their "PWS families" are now accounted for and are safe! We are so happy to know this and we hope the beauty of the blossom can bring hope for new life for Japan.
