Shrines for All Souls

I rode out to the cemetery today to spend some time with the shrines. These are white prayer flags made of vellum that the public have written messages on.




This is one of the shrines where people can place their personalized candles and flowers.

This is a shrine inspired by the Goddess Tara and the phoenix created by Hiroko Okano.







Hiroko's shrine is near the river bed made of stones that represent the babies that are buried here in the graveyard.



This is an altar made by two women honoring two of their young classmates that died several years ago.
