| Spring 2003
Dear All, The Oriental Caravan passed much of this April travelling the highways, railways and blossomful boulevards of Japan. |
|
|
There, among surprisingly varied flora and fauna, it found as always a country safer than most and more exotic than almost any. |
| With so many bridges left to be built between the shores of the wider world and those of this cypressed and cedared archipelago, the welcome for the historically unencumbered visitor can be deep. |
|
|
Spring is a month not just of manifold blossom but also some quite unusual mushrooms. |
| The practise of zen is still important... |
|
|
So much that is interesting about Japan lies in the boldness of its design and attention to detail by skilful craftsmen. |
| That's all for now. Next stop is Tohoku as The
Oriental Caravan follows in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho...
Best wishes,
from Phil and all aboard The Oriental Caravan
