OLD HANDS

The guests at the Celestial Blossom Garden returned to the pavilion after a long picnic with their families in the gazebos. Perhaps the atmosphere in the open garden was soothing, or the bottles of wine included in the picnic baskets were a little strong…

Regardless of the reason, the guests were more relaxed as they gathered once again.

The workstations in the pavilions had been removed, leaving a large space around the performance area at the centre. Moreover, comfortable seats had been set around the stage.

As for the various artistic items created, they were displayed around the room with care, adding a special charm to the pavilion. Naturally, the names of the creators were indicated on the pieces to ensure credit was given where due.

Much could be said about Cherry Blossom. But no one could claim he was inefficient.

Before the performances began, Yugo looked at Mr Blossom after reviewing his list of performers.
