May 27th - my diary one day later.

  I have just returned home with Ayako, Masa-chan, and Masanobu-kun. Yesterday, by Masanobu-kun's driving my car, we went to Sunagawa. We first went to the temple, where Chiaki and her two boys and Haruna's family had arrived and had been waiting for us. But they were not at the temple but they were at "Water Hill museum", close to the temple. We walked to the museum and saw some articles on display. After staying there a little while, we all went to the Kamada's family tomb. We cleaned the tomb and walked around. After that, we went back to the temple, and had a memorial service for the 7th memorial of late Ayako's mother. Then, we went to the tomb again, and we again had a service by Mr.Watanabe, the Buddhist monk who took care of the service in the temple.
  We went to Sapporo and checked in at the Sapporo Prince Hotel, and had a party. In addition to the six of us, including Sawako-san, Masanobu-kun's wife, and Mr.Yamashita, Masa-chan's husband, all the family of Haruna's except Kazuma,who lives in Gifu prefecture, and Chiai and her two sons attended. By the way, Chiaki recently divorced from Yokoyama.
