In Tokyo, they typically have a festival for death each year. Weird, right? In Tokyo’s Shukatsu Festival, people are literally taught the way to properly ensure death. We’re not kidding.
In Japanese, ‘Shukatsu’ means preparing for one’s end. Every year, December they observe 16 because of the day of the ‘Shukatsu’ festival. The business is termed the ‘ending industry’.
Its primary aim is to create people alert to what after death is like and what’s going to happen to the people one left after they passed. They give the visitors various workshops and other events for the identical. To form the experience more authentic, they lay many participants in coffins with sealed lids.
They also teach visitors about a way to prepare the body of the one that has passed. Japan not only has the world’s oldest populations but also has the most important funeral industries. But that does not mean that the festival interests the elderly only.
There is an oversized number of tykes yet, who indicate equal interest. ”This reasonably event is held for those people anxious about such things and folks who want to decide many things while they’re still alive”, said China Tachiwana, from sales and planning at TOMONI.
The festival reminds people of the unpredictability and sorrow of death. Though, it also guides people to not consider it negatively and confirms that loved ones are well taken care of. It allows people to be rational and ready about the phenomenon that strikes everybody.
