Focusing on the transformation of death rituals in contemporary Japan, the book explores the decline of traditional practices surrounding ancestor veneration and the changing role of Buddhist altars and funerary goods. Through ethnographic research, it examines the lifecycle of these materials, highlighting how they facilitate connections between the living and the dead. As societal norms shift, new products like miniature urns and modern altars emerge, prompting a reevaluation of memorialization and the evolving concept of necrosociality in urban settings.
