Dana'sMy junior year in high school she became friends with one of her school's foreign exchange students from Japan. Her name was Machiko, and she and IDana have been friends now for almost many years. In 2007 she and her husband invited Dana to come to Japan. a

Dana arrived at the very end of October when the Momiji, maple leaves, were turning the most brilliant reds, golds and yellows. Her and her husband Ken took me all around Tokyo. It was an incredible experience. One day they traveled outside of Tokyo to the base of Mount Fuji and the maple leaves there were overwhelmingly beautiful.

Dana knew she would go back to Japan one day, but next time she wanted to go in the Spring to see the cherry blossoms bloom. In 2018 Dana returned to Japan with my family - and finally experienced Sakura in full bloom!

Japanese Elegance: Sakura uses batiks from Dana's 2021 Return to the Wild Signature Batik Collection. This pattern can be made as a wallhanging or tablerunner.
