I appreciate this blog, and I envy the naturalness of non-Japanese people about family graves. <br /><br />I make a visit to my family grave once a year. I used to go there more often. A Japanese friend of mine said she visits her family grave once a month. But her mother must have been going there regularly, and the family acts as a unit. So I think they take turn. Now, the friend’s daughter is adult, so probably the daughter takes turn on visiting grave also. So, I guess the friend makes a visit four times a year. This month, we have a national holiday for obon in which most or many Japanese visit their family graves. The temperature is up to 36 C. And humid. Mosquitoes would attack me if I were there. <br /><br />The distance to our graves varies and our circumstances, too. I think of time I can no longer go there. This is what I think. They can come to see us. And, if we passed away, and our children were unable to visit our graves, we can go see them. The transportation will be free, and the time will be on our side.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-66670201087167928732010-08-19T17:45:49.080+01:002010-08-19T17:45:49.080+01:00Thank you Mr F xxThank you Mr F xxZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-18067869760549345342010-08-19T17:38:45.614+01:002010-08-19T17:38:45.614+01:00A lovely heartfelt post!
