Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Burial Mounds of Japan H. Von Siebold, in his Notes of Japanese Archaeology, writes that the earliest mode of burial in Japan was under a mound or tumulus. About 400 to 500 years after the death of the first Emperor, stone coffins, made of several stone plates, or more rarely of a single block, were introduced. These measured 6 to 12 feet by 3 to 5 feet and the sides were 3 to 6 inches thick. There were handles on the sides of the cover. I have not seen any coffins made of stone plates such as Von Siebold describes, but coffins hewn out of solid blocks of stone are not uncommon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tree burial, a new form of disposal for the cremated remains of the dead, was created in 1999 by Chisaka Genpo, the head priest of a Zen Buddhist temple in northern Japan. Instead of a conventional family gravestone, perpetuating the continuity of a household and its identity, tree burial uses vast woodlands as cemeteries, with each burial spot marked by a tree and a small wooden tablet inscribed with the name of the deceased. Tree burial is gaining popularity, and is a highly-effective means of promoting the rehabilitation of Japanese forestland critically damaged by post-war government mismanagement. This book, based on extensive original research, explores the phenomenon of tree burial, tracing its development, discussing the factors which motivate Japanese people to choose tree burial, and examining the impact of tree burial on traditional views of death, memorialisation, and the afterlife. The author argues that non-traditional, non-ancestral modes of burial have become a means of negotiating new social orders and that this symbiosis of environmentalism and memorialisation corroborates the idea that graveyards are not only places for the containment of human remains and the memorialisation of the dead, but spaces where people (re)construct, challenge, and find new senses of belonging to the wider society in which they live. Throughout, the book demonstrates how the new practice fits with developing ideas of ecology, with the individual’s corporality nourishing the earth and thus re-entering the cycle of life in nature.
