This year’s Daikomyosai is in 清水公園Shimizukoen in Noda City. At the entrance to the park is 仁王門 Nyomon, the gate guarded by fierce deva kings. This gate once stood on the grounds of the Hananoi house in Nagareyama, and was moved to this location in 1971. The gardens are famous for cherry, azalea and maples. Daikomyosai coincides with the peak of autumn colours in the park.
Happy birthday to Hatsumi Sensei and thank you for bringing us together.
