The little brick was out in the mini sandbox and set alight. Inside the box next to it were incense crumbs like the Catholic priests uses when they bring the incense chain into mass. Each of us would take 3 pinches to sprinkle on the burning charcoal brick and say a quick prayer then hit the shiny cup with the stick next to it like a bell. #japanesefuneralceremony #theendoflife #crossingover #japan #losangelinoinjapan #滋賀県 (at Wanitakashiro, Otsu-shi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCcy5I3JuUt/?igshid=ip0ya0ghd5i7
