Dokuonji Temple is a Zen Buddhist temple located in Oppama (it's a 15 minute walk from the Keikyu Oppama station).
They hold Intro to Buddhism classes here every couple of months for spouses from the Navy base.
For this session, one zen monk described all of the types of incense they use in their rituals. Another monk explained a zen picture story called the Ten Bulls (Wikipedia has a good article on it).
On an unrelated note, it's hydrangea season here, and there are tons of beautiful bushes in bloom everywhere.
