I had the privilege of capturing the 88th milestone “Beijyu” 米寿 for my Tea ceremony sensei, my husband’s Japanese teacher, and long-time friend in Ottawa. 88th is special age in Japan and those who achieve it deserve recognition. We call it Beijyu, in which the first Chinese character resembles 88. In cool breeze of May we had a fun session together before the huge party in June. Congratulations ! Omedeto Gozaimasu ! I am looking forward to the next milestone “Sotsujyu” 卒寿 ！
