Kono\, and the founding members of the temple. After the service\, guests will visit the Legacy Japanese Garden led by one of MBT’s docents. The garden was created to honor the Issei and Nisei pioneers of the temple. It was designed and built by Hoichi Kurisu\, world-renowned Japanese Garden landscape designer. \nRev. Tsuchiya will give a presentation on MBT’s tradition\, and guests can share what they experienced with all their senses in the temple’s Hondo or main hall. There will be time for questions immediately following the presentation. \nGuests will meet in the main hall of the temple at 10:15 am.
