Old Cemetary, Glass Beach, Kauai

Old Cemetary, Glass Beach, Kauai

The graveyard is also an interesting excursion. There appear to be two parts, an older Japanese part and a newer Christian part which appears to be receiving some form of maintenance. The former lies primarily on the grassy bluff overlooking the ocean and the garbage dump. Some of the tombstones are fascinating to look at, as they are covered with Buddhist and Shinto imagery or sculpture. It’s a little disconcerting to think that the people buried here may eventually be carved out of the dirt in the same way as the garbage dump, but the ocean is far enough away that the graves seem safe for now.
