Rambling- old roads

Spent some time Saturday googling Tokyo cemetaries trying to find pictures of Aoyama Reien for a story, and did, but always in cherry blossom season. Whereas I saw it at this time of year, my first Tokyo autumn happily exploring the city. My search turned up a lot of natsukashii names and at least one Hey, how come I never got *there*?? "Zoshigaya Cemetary: 10-min walk from Higashi-Ikebukuro Stn on the Yurakucho Line"? My stomping grounds. And look- everyone's buried there: Hearn, Soseki, Kafu. The Pere Lachaise of Tokyo, it is. (My regular cemetary was Somei Reien, a small walk or even faster bike ride from Sugamo, cause that's where Touyama no Kinsan is buried.)
