Dear Harold:

HAPPY 87th BIRTHDAY!


Woodblock Print #87 from 100 Views of Edo
"The Benten Shrine at Inokashira Pond"
by Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858)

When I saw this Woodblock Print #87
of Hiroshige, this haiku came to mind:

    Cranes are now flying
    to the island shrine to hear
    Buddha's "Heart Sutra".

Here are my web pages with links
on the Number 87 for you.

There are no flowers with 87 petals but
Israel #87 shows "Bearers with Grapes" for
"Rosh Hashonnah" Jewish New Year 5715—
a gift of grapes for much joy in abundance!

Happy 87th Birthday dear Harold—
May you find 87 a most wonderful year!

                          With joyous wishes,

                          Peter
