Sophora Japonica
A new text with a Japanese theme joins the list of “public” texts that I wrote – the text is called “Sophora Japonica“.
A quick background for the text: Sophora japonica – otherwise known as the Chinese Scholar-Tree, or the Japanese Pagoda Tree, and translated as “salcâm japonez” in Romanian – is an acacia tree native to eastern Asia (mainly China; despite the name, it is introduced in Japan). It is quite a popular ornamental tree in Europe and North America, grown for its white flowers, borne in late summer after most other flowering trees have long finished flowering.
The intro quote is a traditional haiku I happen to like a lot, and the picture to the right of the text is an origami paper crane figure I made myself.
