My sister and her family will be at La Suizandina for some time.

And on 14 Febrary, just in the middle of a stressful time, arrived Nadia and George with their two children Tokio and Dimitri (see first picture four persons on the right). They will take over the function of the managers at the Suizandina. At the moment, though, they are learning how everything works here at the Suizandina in order to make sure that you will be well served also in the future. They look forward to welcoming you soon!

Naturally I wanted also to know where they are on the Google Map, so that I can open up the place on DokoDare. I guess that's it below, especially if I compare it to this picture.

All 54 Genji Mon

About Genji.mon, genji-kô, awase-kô

Genji crests (Genji-mon) are 54 different rectilinear emblems, each associated with one of the 54 chapters of the Genji monogatari ("Tale of Genji," early eleventh century, written by Murasaki Shikibu).

[...]

Genji crests (see Table of Genji-mon), also called Genji-kô ("Genji incense"), were apparently first derived from one of the traditional incense ceremonies in which participants burned combinations of 5 primary scents from 25 different packets, each marked with a unique symbol.

[...]


Eventually, these 25 symbols were expanded to 54, corresponding to the Genji chapters. Other influences on the particular forms of these crests may have been the tally markers or vent patterns of the incense burners used in the ancient game of incense guessing, called awase-kô ("fragrance game" or "incense contest"). The game challenged players to identify burning incense when small slivers of various fragrant tree resins were placed on pieces of mica and burned over charcoal in a kôrô (incense burner). Players had their guesses tallied and the one with the most correct guesses was the winner.
