| 1 | I stopped briefly at the reception to pay my respects to Mrs. Obuchi and Keizos children, one of whom was in politics her-self. | |
| 2 | Mrs. Obuchi thanked me for coming and gave me a beautiful enamel letter box that had belonged to her husband. | |
| 3 | I liked Obuchi and thought he had a chance to tame the turbulent Japanese political scene and serve for several years. | |
| 4 | At the very top there was an indented space where at the beginning of the ceremony a military aide solemnly placed a box containing Obuchi' s ashes. | |
| 5 | Thousands of Obuchis fellow citizens were creating a cloud of sacred flowers against the rising sun. It was one of the most moving tributes I had ever witnessed. |
