\nThayne-san, today we\u2019ll be visiting a shop in Ginza called Yasuda Shokeido which sells family Buddhist altars. It was founded in the fourth year of the Kansei Period (1792), and the first generation owner was from Omi (present-day Saga Prefecture). Apparently the Tokugawa Shogunate asked them to come to Nihonbashi in Edo. Well, let\u2019s go in.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nThat\u2019s right. Our first generation followed the famous sculptor Unkei in the Kamakura Period, and, borrowing the second Chinese character of his name, our shop was called Genkei until the third generation. Starting with the fourth generation, we took the name Shokei, and I\u2019m the seventh generation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nIt\u2019s been about 40 years since we moved here from Nihonbashi. At the time, this area was the booming red-light district of Shimbashi, full of geisha houses and first-class restaurants (ryotei). That\u2019s the kind of environment we, a Buddhist altar shop, moved into, and apparently the geisha of Shimbashi gossiped amongst themselves that we would go under for lack of business. I think we\u2019re doing quite well though, no?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nYes. Each altar requires several steps done by skilled artisans, including the carving, lacquering, and adding of the gold leaf. At a workshop in Saitama our company employs 17 carpenters who specialize in temple architecture and construction, and in addition to family altars, they make adorning features of temples as well. Our artisans have also worked on Zojoji in Shiba, Tokyo, and Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, so the next time you visit, please take a close look.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nRight. But things have changed in Japan. Most high-rise apartment buildings don\u2019t have Japanese-style tatami rooms, and even single-family homes often don\u2019t have a tokonoma. People\u2019s relationships with temples have also diminished. In the Edo Period, Buddhist monks would name a child when she or he was born, and they dealt with matters of birth and death, and kept the official family registries. They played a leading role in people\u2019s lives. These days however I think those kinds of things have become much less common.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nIf you look at these instructions, you can see that some people want a simple funeral attended only by their relatives, and many families follow their instructions exactly. However, those kinds of instructions are written out of modesty; they don\u2019t want to cause their families any more trouble than necessary. But people who have lived for 60, 70, or 80 years have met all kinds of people, made lots of friends, struggled together with many of them, and found happiness. They\u2019ve lived a splendid life. To hold a funeral without telling the friends seems really sad. I think to the extent possible, funerals should be a time when lots of people gather to remember the deceased and their achievements, and give them a farewell.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
