Japanese Grave Kyoto

Japanese grave京都の墓標

This family grave sits in a graveyard in northern Kyoto city, in Kumogahata.

It is quiet and dignified.

The priest who lives down a flight of stone steps below this and the other graves has an old tiled roof home that is spacious and comfortable.

The graveyard is surrounded by the house on one hand and a stand of cedar trees on the either.

This grave has recently been visited.

Appropriate flowers have been placed on either side of the main stone, on which the family name is inscribed.

Between the flowers is an area for incense and a candle. Both have burned, and all that remained were bits of wax and ash.
