Summary of Hector Garcia &Francesc Miralles's The Book of Ichigo Ichie

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The Japanese cherry blossom is a symbol of springtime, and the Japanese eagerly follow the sakura forecast to know when the flowers will show their white petals.

#2 The Japanese celebrate the blossom forecast, known as the sakura zensen, with a festival that lasts for two weeks. The sakura petals begin to fall a week later, and the Japanese enjoy watching them fall.

#3 When we fall in love, we experience a kaika moment. It is a mysterious realm of love that can have the most unexpected effects. When we ask other people about the moment when a new world opens up for us, they tell us things such as the following: The first time I heard his voice, I felt breathless.

#4 When kaika is transformative, we want to turn it into mankai. In other words, we want to make sure that what has been born inside us matures and unfolds to its full potential. Mankai occurs when the person who falls in love decides to tend the garden of the relationship on both good and bad days to prevent it from withering.
