It was a relief to get to our Buddhist monastery.
The room lovely overlooking a peaceful garden.
The monks attentive and the food exquisite. Pity I didn't get a picture of a monk for you. But here's one of me....

| Eating is one of my favorite things |
We went to the morning monk chanting session each morning. I found it cold and uncomfortable, the chanting monk had a cough and the rituals and all that stuff in the temple remind me of the manifestations in my mind.
We went walking up through the graveyard of two hundred thousand samurai and others who's remains have been put on this sacred mountain, reminding us of Japan's bloodthirsty past.
Curiously, bibs and hats have been put on stone effigies. Teruko thinks I need a bib because of my habit of dropping food off chopsticks onto my shirt. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in this regard.
