The Apple Doesn't Fall . . .

far from the tree. Here, the only child, Yukiko Tokotomi, of the founders 

of the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society, gives her presentation at the Asilomar Book Party

for Autumn Loneliness; the letters of Kiyoshi and Kiyoko Tokutomi, 2009.

The dude leaning on a Volkswagen in the wall photo is the young Kiyoshi, back from Japan!

Behind her left to right: Mrs. Tokutomi's sister and Tei Matsushita, who translated the letters.

Last night when we were fooling around on Facebook,

Yukiko made a comment that reminded me of haiku.

I told her why not add a kigo and I would post it here:

                                                                        And she did!

The "past" is an interesting window to look through...softly falling leaves
