The surprising origin of Tasmania's cherry blossom festival
By Kelsey Reid
Thirty years ago, a Japanese love of Tasmanian new-season soba noodles led to a cross-cultural gift of hundreds of cherry blossom trees, now celebrated at the annual Hanami Trail festival.

You'll see stone lanterns in many Asian gardens & lining pathways & entrances of Buddhist temples. They have a long history.
History of stone lanterns:
#StoneLanterns have been known in #China as early as the Han dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE), and prevailed from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties all the way up to the Tang Dynasty, when they were introduced to #Japan. The earliest known extant stone lantern in China is the Northern Qi (550-577) stone lantern in the remains of Tongzi Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Other early stone lanterns which date from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) remain extant in several temples around China, such as the stone lantern in Faxing Temple in Zhangzi, Shanxi which was built in 773.

I’m the author of Shu Ha Ri: The Japanese Way of Learning, for Artists and Fighters, available now.

After launching my book on the Japanese concept of Shu Ha Ri I’m visiting Japan itself soon to research another concept that’s become a minor obsession.
I’m particularly interested in traditional Japanese gardens and in traditional crafts, so where should go? If you know Japan, what tips have you got to share?

Twin Cities Gardens
Founded in 1502 by Tōkei Sōboku (東渓宗牧), 72nd head of Daitoku-ji, Ryōgen-in's main hall (originally the abbot's residence) is thought to be the complex's oldest building.
5 Gardens:
🪨Koda-tei (滹沱底)
🪨Isshi-dan (一枝坦)
🌿Kaiso-dō garden (開祖堂)
🌿Ryōgin-tei
🪨Tōtekiko
'Tōtekiko' is just 1 of 5 gardens at Ryōgen-in. For a brief time each day it is illuminated completely by the noon sun.
The temple's 'Ryōgin-tei' is believed to be the oldest in the Daitoku-ji (大徳寺) complex, and may well have been created by Sōami (相阿弥 ?-1525).
