Soiree in the Green 1.June.2019

雨が上がり、太陽の光を受けて輝く緑の中で、“Soiree in the Green” というお集まりを開きました。桜を愛でる会はあっても、緑を愛でるということはなかなか少ないようで、お集まりの皆様がとても喜んでくださいました。
国土の約３分の２もの面積が森林で囲まれた世界有数の森林国・日本で、普段は当たり前に感じていた緑の美しさを堪能した一日となりました。

I threw a party－” Soiree in the Green”, it was surrounded by greenery shining in the sun after rainy days. Everybody at the party appreciated the theme because people seem usually have a cherry blossom viewing party but not a greenery viewing party.
The day became a special day for us. We enjoyed the beauty of greenery thoroughly nonetheless we take it for granted as we live in Japan in where 2/3 of its land is forest and it is one the highest proportion of forested land in the world.
