First Death Cafe in Fukuoka, Japan
A write up of Death Cafe Fukuoka, Japan
By Nagisa
It was the first Death Cafe in Fukuoka, Japan.
There were five of us including me (as a facilitator).
The participants have variety of backgrounds; Anthropologist, laboratory medical technologist, graduate school student, professor and Acupuncturist.
At first, I talked why I hold Death Cafe. Then we discussed how much money we need, when someone died; A cost for a death certificate and cremation etc. We also talked about what are important things before you die. For example, where we wants to die, what we want to eat before our death, physical conditions, medical care, alternative care, how to spend the rest of life, with whom, and QOL. Also, we talked about whether Fukuoka is the best place to die. It was really interesting event.
Also we enjoyed Japanese seasonal sweets , “Kashiwa-mochi (rice cake wrapped in an oak leaf)”, fresh fruit and local green tea.
We will hold 2nd "Death Cafe Fukuoka Japan" soon .
