HSH The Duke of OZ thanks the Church for their kind offer, but asks instead that a grove of Cherry Blossom trees be planted in Sir Hokusai's honour. In the year of their first bloom OZ asks that Sir Hokusai's ashes be sprinkled in the garden. When OZ dies (which looks imminent) he requests that he be buried in the Cherry Blossom garden with all the honours befitting a loyal servant of the Church.
