Although he could not make out all the words on the gravestone, and the writing was not very clear.
Just from that one character, [Yori].
Xia Xi could thump his chest and guarantee that the person lying in this grave was the progenitor of Breathing Styles himself.
It could hardly be someone with the same surname called [Enji] or [Ensan].
As for the other grave right beside it.
It certainly was not his older brother Tsugikuni Michikatsu's...
It was most likely his wife's resting place.

Tanjuro, who had finished tending the graves down the mountain, also reached the summit.

"He said this was the grave of a close friend of our Kamado ancestor."
"But apparently, it's only a cenotaph."
Xia Xi: ?
"You mean his remains aren't actually buried in here?"
Tanjuro nodded. "Neither my father nor my grandfather knew the exact reason."
"I heard our ancestor only buried a torn piece of clothing here back then."
"The person beside him is his wife."
"Why? Do you know who this person was, Mr. Kurumaji?"

By the time the Demon Slayer Corps found his remains, a long time had already passed.
In a sense, his remains had long since returned to nature.
