Stephen Risetti was the first owner of this traditional cherry wood butsudan made around 1980. Don bought it from Stephen when he lived in a 20 foot trailer in 1986. Don later sold it to Wes around 1990. This photo was taken sometime in the early '90s in the home where Wes passed away in 1994. It now belongs to his sister, Connie, along with his Nittatsu Gohonzon.
