[EN] Since we touched the topic of summer festivals, I remembered that time that I visited a tiny festival in Ikebukuro, at Ootori shrine(้ๅธใ่ฐท ๅคง้ณฅ็ฅ็คพ). Just in front the shrine, one can see Sakura, the last tram of Tokyo, running on the Toden Arakawa line. I enjoyed all kinds of street food at the festival and then decided to visit the most important cemetery of Tokyo, Zoshigaya Reien (้ๅธใถ่ฐท้ๅ). It is a public cemetery and non-secular.
Why did I go there? Because that’s where the tombs of Lafcadio Hearn and his relatives are. Lafcadio, or Yakumo Koizumi in Japanese, was a Greek-Irish writer and a professor of English literature at the University of Tokyo. He had a tremendous influence on Japanese art and was even honored by some with the title ‘The National Poet of Japan.’ For those interested, one of his descendants, Ayuko, creates YouTube videos explaining events from his life.
Walking among the tombs, some other names also caught my attention. The most beautiful tomb belonged to Ogano Ginko, the first female doctor trained in Western medicine. There’s a full-body statue of her, dressed in Western fashion, following the style of the Meiji Reform period. Nearby lies the tomb of Natsume Soseki, another writer, who succeeded Hearn at his position in the university. His most famous book is probably the acclaimed ‘I am a cat.’ On the other side, there’s Abe Isoo, a somewhat peculiar personality, an important Christian-socialist politician of the 20th century, who brought baseball to Japan. Baseball remains the national sport to this day. Finally, in a secluded corner, a simple tomb had a similarly concise message: ‘Hideki Tojo, military officer and prime minister.’ Someone more cunning than me would say that this description conceals the whole truth about the man mainly responsible for Japan’s actions and crimes in World War II. The tomb had a cement container on the side, for visitors to leave their business cards. Fortunately, no one seemed willing to converse with a criminal.
