Today Atsuo asked one of his students and his assistant to show me around the Seto area, which is famous for its ceramics. We started with a tour of the Setogura-Ra museum and then had lunch, followed by a walking tour of downtown Seto which included several temples, the first of which, Hosenji, is a Soto Zen temple. We then saw the Fukagawa-jinja and Suehiko-jinja Shrines followed by Houngi Temple which has a large ceramic bell on its grounds.
After some afternoon meetings I had an informal dinner with several professors and students at an izakaya, a Japanese pub. It was relaxed and informal and a lot of fun. We stayed out late, and I drank too much sake. Possible?
