Not so long ago my buddy Paul wrote and asked a pertinent question (though I'm sure he meant it to be impertinent) regarding the prayers that I'm saying on this trip:

Words-and-Pictures: Shouinji

Note: This selection of Words-and-Pictures was made on September 17, 2001, as I walked on the Old Tokaido.

Shouinji is in Hara in Shizuoka Prefecture, which is Station #13 (from Tokyo) on the Old Tokaido Highway. You can read about my visit to the grave of Hakuin in my Logbook.
