WHEN DEATH FALLS APART

“From graves for abandoned tombstones to the craft and care by which workers tend to butsudan today, this book is an electrifying read. Ethnographically intimate, analytically astute, and refreshingly clear, When Death Falls Apart brilliantly tackles both the challenges and attachments to necro-care as once practiced and getting redrafted today.”
