A car ad features a car going down a beautiful stretch of a shore road (i am guessing it is Pacific coast hi-way, but it could be Nova Scotia, or evne New England ) and the text in the ad names some roads.. the text is all block capitals--
The road to HANA

The long and winding road...

The road to fiscal responsibility


does any one know what is meant by The road to HANA?

the other two roads i understand.. but the first one makes no sense.. what am i missing?

Not sure this is the right Hana, but I received a notice about a voice workshop:
Hana is a term from the Noh theatre. Literally it means "Flower". Metaphorically it is "an achievement of the highest critical standard, representing the ultimate in physical, vocal, and spiritual technique". It is a "means to give rise to the unexpected in the hearts of the audience". It is "essence"; a distillation, a crystallizing of experience.
