"THE GARDEN OF ENCHANTME... "THE GARDEN OF ENCHANTMENT"
Composer Paul Chihara
As guest of Yuka Shimizu we were treated to a delightful evening at the Seattle Arboretum Japanese Garden. The presentation by three members of the Seattle Symphony truly was enchanting as the waning sunlit tops of the surrounding evergreen reverberated to the taps of the marimba.

With credits like the compositions for SHOGUN, Mr. Chihara has composed scores for over 90 motion pictures and television series, In addition to his many concert works.

As we enjoyed our designer Bento box cuisine, Chihara expressed his delight to be back where he was born, raised and supported by the Chihara Jewelry Company on 6th and Jackson growing up.

Michi Hirata North and I were there for the music and the camaraderie. What a surprise to also find a personal connection. My husband, Sam, bowled for the Chihara Jewelry team. Typical of the Issei and Nisei, with Japanese Heritage, it was impolite to brag! I had heard the name, Paul Chihara, but had no idea he was part of the Chihara family that ran the Jewelry store.
