  • Description

    Following an overview of the early development of funerary rituals in Japan, Andrew Bernstein demonstrates how diverse premodern practices from different regions and social strata were homogenized with those generated by middle-class city dwellers to create the form of funerary practice dominant today. He also explores the conflict-filled process of remaking burial practices, which gave rise, in part, to the suburban “soul parks” now prevalent throughout Japan; In the process, Bernstein shows how today’s “traditional” funeral is in fact an early twentieth-century invention and traces the social and political factors that led to this development.
