“One of our members who lives outside Kyoto but has a special connection with it is Edward Levinson on the Boso Peninsula. As well as being a gardener with a spiritual bent, he is known as a photographer and has exhibited in a variety of venues. In addition he writes essays and pens haiku. In the latest addition to the WiK webpage, 'Edo' as he is known writes of his connection with Kyoto and with trees, and one tree in particular. It is extracted from his engaging memoir, Whisper of the Land, together with an example of the haiku and photography that adorn his book.”
