I found this particular headstone interesting because of the picture next to the family name "Kobayashi." Maybe the person buried here liked to go sailing.

This is a beautiful grave indeed... I like to discover on your blog an another part of Japan, more intimate, very far from the tourist usual views...
Interesting, indeed. «Louis», a sailor-wannabe, likes this.
What a beautiful shot and an unusual cemetery.
Darryl and Ruth : )
Even the dead would rather be sailing. Oops, is that black humor? :-D Nice images, Kaori... I do have an attraction to cemeteries.
Good Lord: the name is familiar to me. Is it widespread?
My father used to negociate contracts with Kobayashis.
so beautiful...wonderful reflections...It just so happens that I spent some time photographing a local cemetery this morning with my husband. Very different architecture to the memorials...but beautiful in their own way.
Nice. I like the pink with the gray.
In my mind Kobayashi will be forever the shady lawyer in 'The Usual Suspects'!
By the way now I am your 102nd follower!
wow beautiful grave! beautiful picture! :)
Passion and desire for life.
Please have a good Sunday.

this is a nice epitaph kaori.
Tama Cemetery in Fuchu City has been around since early in the last century. But it is less a garden and more of a huge cedar grove in places. Like your lovely Akitsu Fureai Garden Cemetery Park, it is non religious: That is, it is not connected with any specific temple.
The sailboat is nice on the Kobayashi gravestone but, in all honesty, I kind of envy the decoration on the grave statue of Victor Noir in Paris.
