Geocache Description:


Masako Natsume was a Japanese actress. In 1984, she married Japanese author Tadaki Nishiyama, known under the pen name Shizuka Ijūin. But after only a year, she died from acute leukemia at the age of 27 in 1985, and is buried both in Hōfu, Yamaguchi and here under the married name Nishiyama and maiden name Odatsu.

Yoshiko Tanaka married Masako's brother Kazuo Odatsu in 1991, and the following year, breast cancer was found and recurred several times, but she kept working with medical treatment. Breast cancer recurred due to duodenal ulcer in 2010, and then the cancer spread to the lungs and liver and died at the age of 55. She is sleeping in the same grave with her best friend and sister-in-law Masako Natsume.

夏目雅子(旧姓:小達雅子、1957-1985)は、1984年に作家の伊集院静(本名:西山忠来)と結婚し、その翌年、急性骨髄性白血病を発病し、順調に回復していましたが、抗がん剤の副作用とみられる肺炎により9月11日、27歳の若さで亡くなりました。彼女の遺骨は、ここにある小達(おだつ)家の墓と夫の西山家の菩提寺(山口県防府市大楽寺)に分骨されています。

田中好子(1956-2011)は、夏目雅子の実兄で実業家の小達一雄と1991年に結婚、 翌年に乳がんが発覚し幾度か再発しましたが、治療を受けながら芸能活動を続けていました。2010年に十二指腸潰瘍を患い乳がんも再発、その後、肺や肝臓にもがんが転移して同年4月に55歳で亡くなりました。親友で義妹の夏目雅子と同じ墓に眠っています。
