Description

Explore the evolving landscape of Japanese funerary traditions with Japanese Tree Burial: Ecology, Kinship and the Culture of Death. This volume from the Japan Anthropology Workshop Series examines a modern method of disposing of cremated remains that emerged in 1999. Created by Chisaka Genpo, a Zen Buddhist priest in northern Japan, this practice moves away from traditional family gravestones and the continuous identity of the household. Instead, it utilizes vast woodlands as cemeteries, where each burial site is marked by a tree and a small wooden tablet bearing the name of the deceased. This book provides a deep look at how tree burial is gaining popularity as a way to connect death with the natural environment. It also addresses the practical benefits of this method, specifically how it serves as an effective tool for the rehabilitation of Japanese forestland that suffered damage from post-war government mismanagement. For students and professionals in anthropology and sociology, this text offers a unique perspective on how modern rituals can address both cultural shifts and ecological needs.
