I’m off to Yamaguchi for a couple of days to meet with Reiko’s family. I’ve worked out how to do future posting so I’ve got posts lined up for most days I’m gone. Here’s today’s.
The above picture admittedly isn’t a great one but it shows an interesting event. My next door neighbours recently decided to rebuild their house from scratch. The bulldozers came in one day at 8 in the morning whilst I was still asleep and I thought I was in the middle of an earthquake as they tore it down.
When they had got rid of it all, they put up bamboo poles at each end and connected them with string to bless it. They left it like that for a week.
