I visited the illumination event held at Yokokan Garden the other night. After appreciating the tranquil beauty of the whole landscape, I looked for plum blossoms which I knew must be blooming somewhere in the garden. I searched near the spectators who were ah-ing and oh-ing at the beautiful reflections on the pond, trying to locate plum trees. Then I saw somewhat pinkish tree at the end of a dark path dimly lit by paper lanterns. There, I found it! Then I found another one, then another. This garden doesn't have plum grove, so each find was like a bonus for me. They made a fabulous finale to the magical night I spent at Yokokan!
