Meeting Butsudan

Ancestral Reflections


So inspired by the people we have met in Japan that Patricia and I have just placed a busudan in our home. 
 
A butsudan is an elemental feature in the life of a traditional Japanese family, it is the center of respect for remembering our ancestors. 60 percent of city dwelling families in Japan possess a busudan. The rate of possession rises to 90% farther away from cities.
