SCROLL FOR APRIL

wish it were 

an innocent global joke

April Fools' Day

April is a beautiful month but this year things are total upside down due to the raging virus. The above haiku is my heartfelt wish and down below shows something I fiddled with to mitigate the blues.

Two scrolls made of a narrow sash(hoso obi) with pockets for seasonal flowers and a small square poetry card(left one) and a photo of a Japanese white-eye(mejiro).

The card reads 'uzuki', an old name for April in the lunisolar calendar and in the pockets snowflake and camellia in the bud are arranged.
