To mark one year since the passing of Kazuko's sister, a priest visited her father's house to say prayers at the little indoor shrine in the living room. This ceremony is called ishuki. Following twenty minutes of chanting, the priest gave a long explanation about what life is like in the spirit world and what kind of thing Fuki is now experiencing. She is, I am sure, finally at peace and laughing with my mother.
