Tomomi Yoshida's Memorial from Dec 2012
Maggie Simpson made an offering of tea in chanoyu style then lit an incense for Tomomi, sticking it in a bowl of rice resting next to the bowl of tea on the impromptu shrine we had made.
Then each guest kneeled in front of the shrine, now also covered in flowers, and lit an incense too. Some touched or spoke to the photo of Tomomi as they knelt, others knelt in silence and cried softly. It was simple but very moving.
