A Woman Lived with Her Dad's Corpse for 30 Years, Without Realizing It

Police officers in Tokyo, Japan, were mortified to find a mummified corpse inside a home, which had been there for the last 30 years. The family claimed that it was their grandfather’s wish to follow an ancient Buddhist monk practice; meditation so deep that he would reach Nehan, or Nirvana.
Why would a family seal their grandfather away, alone in a room without food or water for 30 years? How did he become mummified, and how did the Japanese government never find out? This is the story of how an incident led to a manhunt of over 200,000 lost people.

There's wide distrust of the "My Number" system here in Japan, because it poses all the privacy risks that Social Security numbers pose in the US. It certainly doesn't help that a lot of payment services are now trying to convince people to link their My Number card to their services, possibly opening the door to individual tracking beyond the use of their services and the creation of the awful kind of credit score system that US has.

Yeah our SS system definitely has a TON of security flaws and especially gives people an in to prey on elderly people who might be a bit confused about how it works or might not be mentally as sound anymore. There's things in place if that sort of fraud is discovered but the problem is if there's no one checking up on elderly in person then the chances of figuring out they've been taken advantage of are really low. Basically... they're trying to find the cheapest way to not lose money instead of being decent human beings to their own citizens. It always sucks.

Every developed country has a national identification system. SSNs were never intended as one, just as a way to get social security. But it’s become a de facto one because we don’t have a national identification system. So any fears about such are unfounded and silly.

An interesting note about the “”my number” system: it’s been difficult to get people, especially the elderly, to sign up for a my number because many of the incentives to use it appeal to younger generations (think ease of use for printing documents at the convenience store, or identifying yourself in online government forms, etc). Anyway, they’ve been offering cash incentives for sign up recently, and suddenly the processing systems are completely overwhelmed and backed up lol.

There are no known pictures of Sogen Kato that has ever been released to the public. The illustration at 1:50 is actually from a picture of Tomoji Tanabe, who was the world's oldest living man from 2007 until his death in 2009 at the age of 113. I see this picture very often misattributed as supposedly being Sogen Kato when it acutally isn't.

Also most people have only one or two, so the next generation there will be fewer and fewer people. Because this 5 million inclue both parents so it, so the number children will be less than 5 million because like I said most people have one, not always have two and is rare for people have more than two.

What I’m curious about though that wasn’t addressed was that the motives were painted in broad strokes as “greed” but I’m curious that with people living so long are they in need of the money that is coming to the aged people that they are not able to access themselves? It seems like they addressed the Identity issue which is a symptom but did they really get to the root cause of why people may be going that route of not admitting someone has passed? I’m sure for some it is just “easy money” but with these family situations I wonder if for some losing the money coming from the deceased would make them destitute so it’s more desperation than greed?

Working in the field I do...I know of quite a few cases of families not wanting to/not sending in their dearly departeds documents to the government, for exactly that reason. Especially in the elderly population, where they rely on the government for a monthly pension. Losing that one income can literally mean they lose the roof over the head and food on their plate, OR choosing to let their health decline by not paying for their needed medications, heat and hydro. It's very sad when they have to opt to do something deemed "illegal", just to survive and be able to have a basic need and necessity.

For the population decline, I once thought of a rather novel idea; Japan could implement a repatriation system for their diaspora abroad, that allows people verified to be of Japanese descent to emigrate back easily and with little cost (family members included). I do know that they're rather cagey about foreigner immigrants, so allowing their people to return to their ancestral homes may get better reception. Though the world in general probably needs to look at downsizing the economy for a smaller number of people and a more sustainable future, repatriation is just one way help fill the demographic gaps during the transition.

If Japan wants to fix their people are getting too old issue, may I, as a friend suggest deep fried butter? Start young, but start eating the friend butter, and give the ocean a rest, and eat butter fried steak. This is how America has such impressive numbers for the elderly.

The practice is slightly different in natural caves in colder climates at much higher altitudes, related understandings or belief systems though. Once you experience it, with the 'leaves of the tree' dancing around you, it would be difficult to not want to be a part of that forever. I doubt being underground in a box would be similar, that would seem more like a western understanding of life and death to me. Take a photo, it lasts longer.

I'm not exactly sure what the koseki system has to do with any of this. Koseki is indeed a family based system, but having separate paperwork like birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate, etc., Wouldn't do anything to solve the issue of people not reporting deaths. The mynumber card is an id connected to a different system (Jyuminhyo), which tracks residence instead of families, and issue a single number to identify people, much like SSN in other countries. This was implemented mainly to help coordination between government agencies and in an attempt to reduce fraud - but again, that alone won't help much to know if someone has died.

@@johnbunceiii2668 Yes it is fraud. She shouldn’t have done it. Those facts don’t inherently make it selfish. A lot of people would commit fraud if it kept their family off the streets, keep food in their mouths or kept them safe. It’s not right, but it’s also not selfish.

It's not sokushinbutsu in the case of the lady's father. You can't do sokushinbutsu without being in the forest to complete the first two stages. You have to only eat the byproducts of trees for the first, and for the second, you only drink a special tea made from leaves that pull all the fluids out of your body.
