Went for an 8am Sunday morning walk through #YanakaCemetery in Tokyo, very quiet and peaceful, looking at the grave plots with vast natural rock tombstones along the path lined with old cherry trees and jasmine. The trees are said to have a soul-soothing effect, I did feel very calm afterwards.

Later I went with Chiaki @kushimotochiaki, a chef here in Tokyo, who I first met last year when she was working in the kitchen with us at Mitsukoshi for my English Afternoon Tea week, Miyuki (who also worked with us) and Megumi Hagaiwara to the beautiful Tennoji Buddhist Temple, washed out hands and mouth in a ritual way, in a small stone trough.
