It's nearly Spring which means SAKURA!

Sakura (Cherry Blossom) is richly symbolic in Japan. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of the cherry blossom and for many, are a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. This involves the centuries' old practice of picnicking under a blooming sakura or ume (plum) tree. Here's Yarn Alive's tribute to Sakura:

野球、水と毛糸の共通点は？ What does baseball, water and yarn have in common?

このエリアは、いろいろ変化しました！災害後、水道水が止められていた時、この野球場は七ヶ浜町の配水場として使われました。さらに4ヵ月後、この同じ野球場で仮設住宅が建設され、その中で Yarn Aliveが始まりました！ いつもそこに希望があることを感謝しています！

This area has seen a lot of change! From a baseball field, it became the central water distribution for Shichigahama when there was no running water for nearly a month after the disaster. Four months later, the first temporary housing units were built and soon after Yarn Alive was birthed!

We are thankful that there is always hope!
