Oya-Koukou (filial piety)
The main purpose of our trip back to Seattle was to spend time with the family. Here we are with my parents and youngest brother and his wife and kids. (My middle brother is in Hawaii and couldn't be here.) I promised my parents when we decided to move to Japan to start helping out at Kamesei Ryokan that I would come back once a year with the kids to see them. I feel guilty for leaving the inn for a week, but this was part of the deal.
今回のシアトルの旅の主の目的はつまり親孝行です。長男の私がこの亀清旅館を後継ぐ為に親から離れちゃった者で、年に一度会う約束した訳です。ハワイイにいる真ん中の弟以外のリンチ家の集まりが出来ました。
