Edoardo Chiossone’s tomb in Aoyama Cemetery, Tokyo
Hello, thanks for stopping by. The first podcast in the Graveside Chats series was recorded in late May 2005 in Aoyama Cemetery’s foreign section where some of the famous and many of the not so famous graves are under threat of removal by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. In an interview with Donatella Failla, Director of Museo d’Arte Orientale E. Chiossone, we learn a bit about the man and his tomb.
