| description | A black and white image mounted and encased on aged cream cardstock stamped with "B ISHIKAWA. RIKUZEN, KESENNUMA". The image shows a group of Japanese men and women wearing formal kimonos and some with white headdresses, standing en mass in front of a temple square. In the center of the square is a wood coffin-like structure in the shape of a small A framed building resting on two sawhorses. The crowd holds up six banners that proclaim the funeral service is for Jinzaburo OIkawa. The location of the photo is on a temple grounds in his hometown, Tome city, Miyagi Ken, Japan. |
