Everyone arrived safely and in good shape.
First day here was spent visiting sites. Part of the group went to Movieland and Osaka Pokemon, the rest of the group went to 6:00 service at the Honzan, Rokkakudo, Nishiki Market and then was joined by others for a trip to Fushimi Inari.
Yesterday was our visit to Honzan, audience with Gomonshu sama and our performance at the Mombokaikan. The performance was great. Well received. There was even a request for an encore. The choir obliged with "Ondokusan" and asked the audience to join in. There was a reported from the Hongwanji News and an article had already been prepared for publication in the Buddhist Music Newsletter.
The photos are not caption yet. Will add captions as soon as possible.
Today is the big trip to Nara. Will have more pictures to share.
