This is NOT an authentic Japanese or any Asian ceremonial departure ritual. This is a fraudulent reenactment. I can assure you, You will NEVER see or read anything like this anywhere. The alleged body is flush with oxygenated red blood cells. That should be your first hint.
A lot of you don't understand that he is not "Playing" with the body but massaging it to get rid of rigor or stop it from setting in.. There's a process. And he has done this very respectfully. Please don't comment if you do not understand.
this is probably an UNembalmed body... massaging of a body is necessary to keep rigor from setting in or eliminating it, it is usually done during the cleansing of the body during an embalming, but if the body is not embalmed it still needs to be done.
@sonjavickt82 Watch the film in full. Typical comment from someone who doesn't understand the culture of another country. You're an embarrassment to the Human race.
i think this is absolutely amazing am speechless d way this man has upmost respect 4 this lady how i wish this could happen in uk around my area, this man will be blessed 4 life am sure infact i knw that god will always bless this wonderful man whos doing this 4 this beautiful lady
Wow. The Japanese are always so precise and proper. Its a little much for me as I am American and a christian (please leave the shithead childish fuktard remarks out assholes) and it is just what left after we pass on-but you have to respect what it represents to them and how they treat it. Very cool.
@amyntut As far as I can tell it's part of Buddhism (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). The movie is slightly based on a book by Shinmon Aoki (Coffinman: The Journal of a Buddhist Mortician).
I would appreciate it alot if anyone could inform me how frequently this ceremonially preparing is still used in Japan today. Any weblinks in English about this subject are also welcome. Thanks in advance.
@ChibiTomo81 what you see is a very stylized way of massaging the body which tends to remain somewhat rigid after death. also eventhough most japanese are cremated. it is very important that the deceased be made to feel comfortable even in death. they are shinto after all a thus venerate those passed ancesters.it also redistributes the blood from the posterior body to a more uniform appearence. ive always thought that some of there customs very beautifull. the priest dont cut
i think this was beautiful the way he pre pared her for viewing.
he showed respect. he had feelings was concerned and compassion.
