Japanese gardens take elements from nature to allow time to reflect on seasonality. As the old year begins to wind down as we approach the New, why not embrace the spirit of renewal to learn a new language? Online, adult Japanese beginner classes begin on 1/22. We are looking for a few more students for a new class.
