On Sunday, April 21, the 4th Cherry Blossom Festival took place in the park at the “Meerbad.” The Meerbusch-Shijonawate Friendship Association and the City of Meerbusch had extended an invitation to celebrate the sister city partnership and Japanese culture. Unfortunately, due to the warm spring, the cherry blossoms on Büdericher Allee had already faded. Instead, we had typical April weather—cold, cloudy, with a few raindrops and some sunshine. But that didn’t dampen the spirits of the participants and visitors. There was plenty of activity and great interest right up until the end around 6:00 p.m.

The Neandertal Kyudo Club was present with a booth, makiwara shooting, and a demonstration on stage to inform interested visitors about our art. We thank the organizers for the invitation and the excellent organization. We’re already looking forward to next year!
