IN MEMORIAM


Ten years ago on the 11th March 2011 tragedy struck Japan in the form of a huge earthquake and terrible tsunami in the Tohoku region. Three weeks later I was to take up a three month scholarship at the Sogetsu School of Ikebana Head Quarters in Tokyo. At the time, in the first entry of my internet journal, I wrote: "...Even at this distance, in Australia, we feel a deep sadness for those lives that are lost and those that have been irrevocably changed by the event."

The impact of that event continues to this day.

I dedicate this simple ikebana of Hydrangea to the memory of those who died and those who continue to suffer.
