Temple: Eifukuji – a monk from this temple seems to have had a movie of his life made, and it was on sale here on DVD.

Dedication: I only got to know Poneh during the last year of uni but I’m glad I did.  She’s opinionated, loyal and brilliant fun. She formed another tripos along with Eleanor of the Holloway lunch club and I miss those times. I’m thinking of you, Tom and Kaz today Pon, hope you’re doing fantastically.

Picture: Toppo reciting the heart sutra at the temple’s Daishi hall.

I ran into Toppo again just before this temple and he was at an amazing onsen. It had hammocks, hundreds of manga, free massage chairs, a restaurant, place to sleep or relax. Looked like magic.
