The Grave of Gichin Funakoshi,

A wooden building resting on stones - Earhquake proof!

The monk in the picture took us to the grave, washed it and placed flowers on it. He did this because we came to specifically see this grave.

On the way back Jim Rafferty and Harry drop into a sushi bar (in Gotanda) for some sashimi (raw fish!). We will go back!

This is what we ate! Exactly as it is photographed. Actually it was very good (the white fish in the foreground took a bit of swallowing though!).
