100 day service

Just like when FIL passed away, there was a 100 day service.

I don't think there is a specific meaning for this service except that it marks 100 days since the person has passed away.

This past weekend, we went to Kyoto for MIL's 100 day service.

Like April's 49 day service, we flew in and was able to see Mount Fuji...bummer the window we were seated at was kind of "dirty".

Ugh, turbulence after this was taken...

On the day of the service, BIL was feeling under the weather, so he didn't attend.

We had lunch afterwards with SIL, niece & nephew then went to BIL's to see the butsudan (family altar) which was moved from MIL's to BIL's last month.

It's been sad going to Kyoto these days, especially for Satoshi who is trying to purge things at MIL's....

We started rainy season today in Tokyo....hope this 100 day service was a safe gathering, hope BIL is feeling better and hope you all have a nice week.
