June 26, 1954 - July 10, 2023
A yoga teacher who was passionate about nature and gardening, Tsuyumi Kobayashi of Montauk died at home on July 10. She was 69.
She was born in Gunma, Japan, on June 26, 1954. For many years, Ms. Kobayashi’s popular yoga classes were held at the Montauk Library, Montauk Playhouse, and Gurney’s Inn. Her spouse, Kobi H. Kobayashi, survives.
Memorial donations have been suggested to the library, 871 Montauk Highway, Montauk 11954, or to the playhouse, P.O. Box 1612.
Rain forced postponement of this year’s Tyler Valcich Memorial Car Show at the Amagansett Firehouse. It has been rescheduled for Sunday.
“It’s an incredible moment here, of course,” Leon Morris, a former rabbi at Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor, wrote this week from Israel. “Mixed with all the emotions of the enormous losses for us, and of course for the innocent Palestinians in Gaza.”
Private driveways branch off a long and winding Old Montauk Highway, and to a first-time visitor the place is a kind of dreamscape, one that grows more surreal when the gate is opened and soon it is before you: the Stone House.
