Blind man in a scented garden

In a plum garden...

.

Hearing can be seeing

Son: This is a white blossom. Smell it?

.

Blind father: The fragrance has a purple tinge.

.

Son: A pink blossom. Touch it.

.

Blind father: Soft, like a young cheek.

.

Son: And the concert is beginning.

.

Blind father: Ah. I hear a koto. Tastes like spring water.
