I found Setsuko sitting alone on the veranda looking out at the garden. The sun was still bright, but the day had grown much cooler. And as I appeared, Setsuko turned and moved a cushion into a patch of sunlight for me. "We made fresh tea", she said. "Would you care for some father?" I thanked her and as she poured for me, I cast my gaze out to the garden.

For all it suffered during the war, our garden has recovered well and is still recognizably the one Akira Sugimoto built some 40 years ago. Down at the far end near the back wall, I could see Noriko and Ichiro examining a bamboo bush. That bush, like almost all the other shrubs and trees in the garden, had been transplanted fully grown by Sugimoto from elsewhere in the city.

In fact, one rumor has it that Sugimoto personally walked around the city, peering over garden fences, offering large sums of money to the owner of any shrubbery he wished to uproot for himself.
