Temple: Konsenji

Dedication: Jeff was Emma’s boss at Hutt Hospital, and probably Ed’s. He became a friend over the year we spent in kiwiland and is often over in Europe for conferences. He recently let me stay in his flat in Wellington for three weeks and treated me to lots of good evenings out. It makes it hard not to want to go and live in New Zealand again. Thanks, Jeff.

Picture: if you can see your reflection in this well behind the Daishi hall you’ll live to 92. If not, you’ll die within three years. Good job I arrived during the day.
