Prof. Michio Umegaki of Keio University poses in front of blossoming cherry tree ("Shidare-zakura") in his backyard at 3-1-12 Mukai-bara, Asao-ku, Kawasaki (Japan) before he chopped it down. He forgot that in Japan there are only Prime Ministers and not Presidents. This photo was submitted to us today by Michio's lifetime partner-Prof. Lynn Thiesmeyer to entice us to visit Japan.
