Rice field

2004-12-07 | rice field (farming)
Rice fields these days are like this.

Until next early summer, they don't plant anything.

Farmers cultivate the soil using a tractor a few times during winter.

Now new leaves are growing among the cut roots!

Buddhist memorial service

2004-12-07 | diary
On December 5 (Sunday), we held a Buddhist Service for my dead father and mother.

We usually hold it 49 days, 1 year, 2 years, 6 years, 12 years,16 years, 22 or 24 years, 32 or 34 and about 50 years after the death.
Sometimes we do it after 100 years.

The service of this time was held after twelve years (father's) and six years (mother's).

About 25 relatives got together.
After praying with a Buddhist priest for an hour before the alter that had been set at the 'to-ko--no-ma' of the house, we visited their grave and prayed there again.

Then we had lunch at the famous? 'U-e-ru-sa-n-pi-a' on the hill.
We enjoyed drinking, having delicious food and chatting each other.

My dead parents also must have been happy!
