Thank You to All Who Participated with O-Toba Set Up
Thank you to all who came to help with the O-Toba set up and general cleaning of
the temple and Nokotsudo or Columbarium on Sunday,
July 9th. As you can see
from the photos on this page,
there were so many O-Tobas
to set up. It takes a lot of man
power to put the O-Tobas up.
To secure one O-Toba, one
person needs to hold the
O-Toba while another person
pounds a nail to
secure the O-Toba.
Also thank you to the
women who helped clean our
temple and Nokotsudo or
Columbarium and for those
who prepared the delicious
lunch! See photos below.
With the help of many of
you (members, relatives and friends of members),
we were able to have the O-Tobas set up and ready for O-Bon services. See photo below to
the right showing all the O-Tobas set up! Beautiful! This is hard work! It is with all your
kokua that it is possible to welcome the departed spirits
to Jodo Mission. Hope everyone enjoyed yourselves
while working hard and you enjoyed the fellowship, which
is very important. ARIGATO!
In addition to cleaning
and setting up the
O-Tobas, the electricians
needed
to set up
the wir-
ing.
Sifting the ashes from the koro (so the small pieces of
senko can be taken out) .requires Tomoko Hisamoto to
use a face mask protecting her from the ash dust.
Someone needs to
set up the faucet for
those bringing flow-
ers and someone
needs to trim our co- Harue Maki, Mutsue
conut tree so our Jodo Mission sign Yanagihara and Doris
Soma. Missing is Aki
can be seen from the freeway (our Nishiyama.

Haleiwa Jodo Mission O-Bon Service
On July 14 and 15, 2017, Haleiwa Jodo Mission had its
O-Bon Services and Toro Nagashi on July 15. As the
only other Jodo Shu temple on Oahu, some members of
Betsuin and minister Rev. Narashiba went to help. It is
so beautiful to see all the lanterns floating. This year,
because of the tide, the toro launching was at 9 p.m. and
many either did not attend or did not pick up their lan-
terns. With the help of volunteers, all the lanterns went
on their way.
