Packed Like Houses

Sendai Graveyard

This picture reminds me of the way houses and buildings are packed together here.

  1. Konnichiwa! Subarashi - interesting contrast between the cold, stark grave markers and the green trees and sky. Genki de ne!

  2. I was amazed to see these everywhere in Japan, next to roads in the middle of nowhere, next to homes, on the side of some lonely hill or in a forest area.

  3. Is this on Castle Hill? It reminds me of the cemetery up there for some reason. It is certainly more filled than it used to be and the markers are much nicer and more expensive.

  4. @Leif: Thank you.

    @Tornadoes: I guess they put them where ever they have space. I think mountain slopes are the best place since that land can't really be used.

    @Abe: This shot is near Kita Yama, but they are all similar. The graves are expensive.
