This time Hawaii tour became very impressive tour for me(editor). Amy Yamashia showed me her hand written family tree chart for Torazo and Kame Aoki after dinner at Honolulu Jodo misshon. Kame Aoki is my mother's father's sister. I couldn't understand well that time because I couldn't digest this fact well. And then Bishop Ishikawa of Koloa Jodoin showed me the Torazo's page in Kakocho after I asked about Torazo. Many evidences which I was looking for suddenly appeared to me at once. My brain paniced. Many years ago, I found the sentence 'I'm working at Kukuiula as fisherman' by Torazo Aoki in newly published reprinted 'Kamuro' journal. I wished to visit Kukuiula some time at that time. Ancestor's record is kept in Temple and descendant visit and find the record and find many relatives in that area. What a wonderful thing. I confirmed one of the meanings of temple in this tour. I will post detail of this story to this site near future.
