Quake toppled cemetery in Otawara, Tochigi-ken, Japan.
Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

ReplyDeleteYes. I have a feeling this cemetery is still in this condition.
DeleteI am a little doubtful. Japanese seem to fix things very quickly.
DeleteI do say, though. It's not so ugly the way it is. It has a sad beauty about it. Especially the dropping flower on the right side. :(
It does have sad beauty. Some cemeteries don't get much attention so some of these family plots may not get fixed for a long time. This photo was about 5 months after the great quake.
ReplyDeleteIt may be that in order to conduct the repairs, there has to be the presence of a Buddhist Priest and or a Shinto Priest to oversee this. There could be bad karma associated with the burial plot if it isn't handled in the proper manner.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I had not thought of that. Thanks.
