A friend, an old friend, lives in Nagano Prefecture. I have visited him every other year. We talk, drink and wander in the mountain area.I think we talk about the same thing, old days, every time, nothing else. However, I find something new ever time when we talk about old days.
Dogwood was sent by Americans in 1915. It was a return gift of cherry trees which Mayor of Tokyo gave in 1912. So, 2015 is the 100 year anniversary of dogwood in Japan.
