Japanese Music Life

Tonight is moonviewing at the Seattle Japanese Garden- one of my favorite events to play music with. John and I will be playing at the event together for the first time. How wonderful that will be! Playing in the beautiful garden, next to the pond. And poems will be read....

Whatever we wear,
We look beautiful
When moon-viewing
-- Chiyo-ni

Today's moon,
Will there not be anyone
Taking up his pen?
--Onitsura

What a special night this will be.
