Jodo Mission of Hawaii
1429 Makiki Street Honolulu HI 96814 Address Service Requested
Jodo Mission of Hawaii
Bulletin - JUNE 2014
JODO MISSION OF HAWAII
Volunteer Office Worker Needed Fridays: June 6, 13, 20, 27 and July 8
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Duties include: answering the telephone, receiving reservations for memorial ser-
vices, taking messages, collecting payments, answering the Nokotsudo or Colum-barium buzzer to let someone in to visit the Nokotsudo. It is quite interesting. You
get to meet all kinds of people and at the same time, you will learn a lot about Jodo
Mission and Jodo Shu.
In preparation for the O-Bon season, the O-Tobas need to be written and the minister needs to concentrate on the O-Toba he is working on so having
someone answer the telephone while the minister is writing an O-Toba
or doing a memorial service or getting ready for a funeral would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested, please
contact
Rev. Narashiba at 949-3995.

Getting Ready for O-Bon: Most people offer flowers, fruits and veg-
etables, candies and drinks. Each O-Toba has about a 6 inch by 6 inch
space for you to work with; otherwise you are into someone else’s space. The
photo at left shows someone with flowers and fruits and as
you can see there is not a lot of space. Last year, Marie
Otani had graciously shared some of her family’s customs and we would
like to repeat some of them:
While the O-Tobas are up during the O-Bon season, it is important and
customary to attend to the O-Tobas, similar to caring for gravesites or niches. Over the many
O-Bon seasons that our family has observed at Jodo Mission, we have developed our style of
caring for our O-Toba. We typically attend to those tasks as soon as the O-Toba is set up,
usually on the Sunday before the start of the O-Bon services.
Flowers are placed at the base of the O-Toba. The temple sets up a basin and makes
available empty glass jars near the fence facing the freeway. But during the year, our family
sets aside suitable jars and we use those instead, leaving the available jars for others. To keep
them from tipping over with our trade winds, we tie the jars loosely to the base of the O-Toba.
To help the flowers stay fresher longer, we cut the flower stems under water.
Food for the ancestors is placed on the shelf in front of the O-Toba. We typically get
oranges since they last longer and are resistant to the weather. To prevent the orange from
rolling on the shelf, we put the orange in a paper bowl. To allow rain water to drain, we poke
holes in the base of the bowl. Then we attach the bowl to the shelf with a little tape, being
careful not to block the drain holes. Blue painter’s tape leaves little or no residue.
THANK YOU Marie for sharing. Please note that everyone is welcome to use the
empty bottles provided near the water basin usually located near the fence facing the free-
way as Marie mentioned above.
