Summary:
"An intimate voyage into Japanese culture and spirituality, culminating in one of
Japan
's most sacred places.
Marie
Mutsuki
Mockett
's family owns a Buddhist temple 25 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. In March 2011, after the earthquake and tsunami, radiation levels prohibited the burial of her Japanese grandfather's bones. At the same time,
Mockett
grieved for her American father, who had died unexpectedly. As
Japan
mourned thousands of people lost in the disaster, she wondered: how does one cope with overwhelming grief? Seeking consolation,
Mockett
is guided by a colorful cast of Zen priests and ordinary Japanese who perform rituals that disturb, haunt, and finally uplift her. From the ecstasy of a cherry blossom festival in the radiation zone to the ghosts inhabiting chopsticks,
Mockett
writes of both the earthly and the sublime with extraordinary sensitivity. Her unpretentious and engaging voice makes her the kind of companion a reader wants to stay with wherever she goes, even into the heart of grief itself"--From publisher.
