The Washington D.C. Cherry Blossoms were given to America as a gift from Japan as a token of friendship. This historical gesture of friendship renewed the value of these ephemeral, fragile, blossoms that stemmed from the ancient Japanese custom of Hanami, and has transcended throughout history and the world, and has ultimately come to represent the meaning of international relations around the world.

doing the presentations on a Noh play I noticed something beautiful about the play that I had chosen. Spring was mentioned a lot, it had many cameos in the play.

It means new life, and new beginnings, a way for family to come together and start anew. So while taking this course I really picked up on the seasonal aspect of Noh whether

It’s even mentioned heavily in both, Mishima's The Sound of Waves, and the short story by Ibuse Masuji “Carp”. What makes nature such a key factor is that it can symbolize multiple attributes without reason. Within Japanese literature and culture nature is the reason for people to appreciate the small things in life and the reminder to celebrate the resources it provides. It
The House of Memories Memories are like bullets—coming in all shapes and sizes and unknown impacts. Some are blanks, only hitting the sky as fine powder. Others whiz by, only spooking you. But then there are the select few, that even when your armor is on, even if you are protected by walls of steel, will find a way to tear you open and leave you in pieces. These bullets are the ones that no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, hit you deep in the bone, rock

In “After Apple Picking”, Robert Frost uses the symbols of a ladder, apples, and sleep to transform the simple job of apple picking into a poem about the end of a man’s life drawing to a close and its worth. From the beginning of the poem, Frost eludes to a more significant meaning when he says the ladder is poking up “through a tree / Toward

The reason for this is that the tree blooms in late spring when it is unlikely that the blossoms will be harmed by frost.
