Springs Of Japanese Wisdom

Mum's been making order of my late Grandma's posessions of late. She found a darling little book, called Springs of Japanese Wisdom and it's full of gorgeous words of wisdom (like Confuscious) on decorated rice paper. I've decided to share...

fortune comes to those who smile
- japanese wisdom

for these few days
the hills are bright
with cherry-blossom
longer,
and we should not
prize them so.
- yamabe no akahito

no road is long with a friend at your side
- japanese proverb
