Kenji & Aiko
Married 4 October 1996
Thirty years on, still pruning the same garden, still pouring two cups.
How they met
Thirty years ago, beneath a single cherry tree, they made a quiet promise.
Three decades of careful days — children grown, a small practice built, a garden tended slowly. Kenji and Aiko would like to mark thirty years the way they began: with tea, in the garden, with the people who matter.
— pearl, moss, and a quiet bow.
