AOMORI Nor are they Christians, but each bt o1l year they kneel before a strange mound which they believe is Christ’s burial place. This takes place at the village of Herai where Buddhists or Shintoists gather each year around a mound surmounted by a pillar on which are three Japanese characters and a six-pointed star composed of inter- locking triangles, like the Hebrew | emblem. How this strange tradition arrived in Japan is not known, but visitors notice that the village, which is lo- cated in Aomori, near the extreme tip of Honshu island, is no great distance south of Mount Yadaijin, 3 3 which is pronounced almost like the | the natives that his younger broth- modern Japanese word for “Jew.” | €& Iskiri, sacrificed his own life The six-pointed star is completely | o the cross.
