The Japanese have ambivalent attitudes toward death, deeply rooted in pre-Buddhist traditions. In this scholarly but accessible work, authors Michiko Iwasaka and Barre Toelken show that everyday beliefs and customs—particularly death traditions—offer special insight into the living culture of Japan.
