{"product_id":"death-and-dying-in-contemporary-hikaru-suzuki-9781138815650","title":"Death and Dying in Contemporary Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, based on extensive original research, explores the various ways in which Japanese people think about death and how they approach the process of dying and death. It shows how new forms of funeral ceremonies have been developed by the funeral industry, how traditional grave burial is being replaced in some cases by the scattering of ashes and forest mortuary ritual, and how Japanese thinking on relationships, the value of life, and the afterlife are changing. Throughout, it assesses how these changes reflect changing social structures and social values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hikaru Suzuki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138815659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138815650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Hikaru Suzuki","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924213858559,"sku":"9781138815650","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79a0f79f-d940-4993-a714-3ba1c6904faf.jpg?v=1681069147","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-and-dying-in-contemporary-hikaru-suzuki-9781138815650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
