I go for a glorious morning walk along a beach close to the apartment.  The beach is strewn with big shards of pottery.

A shard

They are all over the place.

Okinawa is covered in family tombs where ancestors’ bones are placed.  Early tombs were in caves and holes in the rock.

I find a collection of burial urns that I have never spotted before.

I think the recent  mega typhoon destroyed some very old caves containing burial urns and some of these broken urns are now strewn all over the beach.

A tree has been blown onto the roof of a cave, which has collapsed. You can spot the urns nestling in the center of the photo.

Hmmmm.

My favorite tomb has also suffered.

In February

Walls completely washed away.

I wonder if it will be repaired?

Yup, that was a big typhoon. Tombs that had been there for decades and maybe hundreds of years, suffered badly.
