Narcissus of hope

There is a small garden on the 3rd floor of our hotel.
Last week, one narcissus has bloomed there.

That narcissus was brought from Kamaishi in Iwate prefecture where had been struck by the Great East Japan Erthquake.

It used be raised by the aunt of Mr. Sadaharu Furukawa who is the massage volunteer in Kamaishi.

His aunt had affected by the Tunami and remain missing.

That was the only thing which Mr. Furukawa could find after his house was swepted away by the Tunami.

Last November, Ms. Shirasu of RESULTS Japan gave 8 piece of the narcissus bulb to one of our sales staff and asked us to grow.

We wondered if they will grow properly after they were damaged by seawater.

But the one of them thrive and bloom at last!

We were touched by the strength and vitality.

We wish much more narcissus will bloom next year.
