Such an amazing book, discussing the changes of the funeral ceremonies in Japan. I do not fully agree with this perspective of Commoditization and Mass Consumption the author brings on (with all the corollary of thinkers who emphasize this approach), but it's a beautiful ethnography, it opens your eyes to understand several key aspects of Japanese culture.
