White March Hare

Usually it’s 'White Rabbit' three times for luck, but this month is for David, March Hare Extraordinaire, whose birthday is on March 1st. Hares celebrate Spring by frolicking about and a bit of boxing. Swapping rabbits for hares gives a nod to Diversity which is currently under some threat.

WHITE HARE, WHITE HARE, WHITE HARE!

Kimono and Hiking Boots

Costume contrast…
Mari: Zori or geta are prescribed protocol. Hiking boots jar the aesthetic.
Haru: Unusual, yes. Perhaps it’s for practical reasons, like she’s got to get to tea ceremony across a muddy field and will change when she arrives.
Mari: Maybe.
Haru: Could be a statement. About blending or diversity. To give it a woke flavor.
Mari: I’ve seen sneakers.
Haru: The young are experimenting. Like using kimono silk for totes.
Mari: Oh no!
Haru: At least she knows how to tie the obi.

Voice-over
Might be called postmodern, Might be called a farce. It’s a stretch to see the older generation following such fashion trends. But the young are pushing new boundaries.
