When I go back to my hometown from Tokyo, I always tell people that I will go back to hometown to visit family grave almost every day. However it is a good case to visit twice during my hometown stay, and visiting three times during my hometown is rare even though I went back to OKIKAMURO several 10 times. I think that an ancestor is laughing me not to visit grave site enough when I come back to my hometown saying main purpose is visiting grave site. However I will visit grave site at least once definitely even if I would go back with other purpose. When I visit grave site which is above KANNONSAMA (Hakuseiji temple annex) on that hill and look at SETONIKAI (inland sea) sea and take a deep breath with thinking about ancestor, it takes away a painful matter and trouble in the city and I will regain with huge courage. So I go down the hill with shouting in my mind that I have to go back again after working hard. I don’t know my parents and I have not brothers. A person like me could get such kind of high tension. How about you ? Somebody says that hometown is far and only to think in our mind. However I think that hometown is the place where ancestor exists. Never forget! Our mind should be clean by thinking hometown and I believe an ancestor should watch us. Therefore I definitely go back to OKIKAMURO for OBON. I can meet an old friend and am pleased to hear speaking of my seniors. It is heard that an ancestor tell us to come back again with a good health during OBON
