"We walked through the grounds of two zen temples established in the 13th century. Engakuji was founded by the regent Hojo Tokimune, and Tokeiji was founded as a convent by Tokimune's wife.  Both Daisetz Suzuki and R.H. Blyth have their graves at Tokeiji. I had placed pale pink roses at Blyth's grave. All the ginko participants passed by to pay their respects."
