Mr Jozuka, founder (and father) of Garage Vintage passed away suddenly about 12 years ago.
I always wanted to pay respect and visit his last resting place, what was a promise to myself finally came through last week…
Together with the Jozuka family we visited the cemetery… a very typical Japanese cemetery with a lot of respect and honour for the beloved ones… in a traditional way everything is hyper clean!
Mr Jozuka’s stone is not your typical, but teh back of a splitwindowbeetle, carved in one piece stone Mrs Michiko Jozuka did a great job as she refused twice!! Normally it had been way bigger, but the stone carvers had to start twice over again…
Respect!!
How You like the detail? Pretty cool uh?
the numbers on the license plate read more difficult as your worse Sudoku??? All the family birthdays, the birth dates and the founding dates of garage Vintage been all written in, now try to figure that one out!
Beautiful flowers give a nice touch to the black marble!
the cemetery is pretty large, but only one stone is very different from all others… and my old friend Mr Jozuka deserve that!
Can’t finish this blog no better as with the words on the back of the stone…
My trip in Japan comes slowly to an end, I have to run for the airport now… but I have one more stop over, hopefully i can report You tomorrow about that one… so stay tuned!!
