We’re currently in Kobe, but I’ve been meaning to post photos from a few days ago. We went for our usual pilgrimage to Hase, near Kamakura, to see The Big Guy On The Lotus. As I mentioned previously, it was rainy and cold that day, so there were fewer people there than usual. Also, the usual bouquet of flowers was absent from the offerings; instead there was a stack of grapefruit, presumably since it holds up better in the rain than, say, stargazer lilies. Somehow I don’t think that the Buddha was disappointed.
There’s a set of photos on Flickr here and this link will take you straight to a slide show.
