How Morioka remembers Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai

What was the visit to the Yonai memorial in Morioka like?

The grave and statue occupied quiet, understated settings, with a clean monument and some grass around the statue needing attention.

Clarke found road signs to Mitsumasa Yonai's cemetery from a small station in Morioka. The route passed through residential streets before turning down a side street into a remarkably quiet cemetery. The statue stood separately, toward the back of a temple complex and away from its main route. It was clean, although its surrounding grass needed attention. He found both settings understated and dignified.
