Design Your Own Ending

Japanese people are rather fond of sharing important life events together, such as in "shukatsu" (job hunting), "konkatsu" (dating), and "shukatsu" (funeral preparations.) In a rapidly aging society, more Japanese are seeking alternative burial styles, like being entered under a tree or scattering their ashes in the ocean. Design Your Own Ending explores the changing attitudes towards death in modern Japanese society.
