The month of March heralds the end of winter and the beginning of spring with cherry blossom viewing throughout the city. Many places to discover including Negishi Forest Park, Mitsuike Park, Ookagawa River and of course, Sankeien Garden. In this issue, we feature our “Pioneers of Yokohama” series with insight on architect Antonin Raymond and a look at another wonderful hiking trail through the prefecture. We also feature an article supporting community charity work as part of our Community Arts and Action mission. As the famous composer Gustav Mahler once said “Spring won’t let me stay in this house any longer! I must get out and breathe the air deeply again.” Enjoy the spring air!
