Over the course of the last sixty years, Japan has undergone one of the most rapid population shifts of any place in the world, and the population is expected to continue shrinking and ageing for another fifty years. (diagram from The Economist, 2014) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412848182228-K1Z735SSQE82PTKRFDMI/2005_1214daimonji0031.JPG Aging & Loss - The fieldsite Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan (794 CE-1868) is home to over 1.4 million people. As Kyoto strives to retain its reputation as an important historical and cultural city, it is a good place to look at how people think about both the past and the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412846080339-3IVJPHKUNI4ZE36CBKD1/2006_0705Image0003.JPG Aging & Loss - The participants The people I spoke with came from a variety of backgrounds, with a mean age of 74. They could be considered the 'young-old,' enjoying modern social support (like the community center pictured) but concerned about the baby-boomers who were just beginning to retire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412846178929-J94USO6WA6JFRG0KPOC6/ubasutemen-001.jpg Aging & Loss - Obasute In the 15c., Zeami Atsumori wrote Obasute, based on a folk tale originating in India, of a son abandoning his mother in old age. This mask would be used in performances of the play, and remains a potent image of aging in contemporary Japan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412846202277-59WUURU8N02NG6YGLFX2/TY_image3.jpg Aging & Loss - Abandon the old in Tokyo Over the years, the Obasute tale has been reinterpreted in new forms. In 1970, manga artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi published this modern version, showing the skyscrapers transforming into the wooded mountain of the old tale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412849528798-I1064TM3ZF3CDMST8L1T/img_341258_53763137_0.jpg Aging & Loss - Who will support the old? Are the old to be abandoned to make way for the young as Obasute suggests? If not, who will support them as their burden on families and the Japanese state continues to increase? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412846350479-F89B7L832IIG6I9N19UI/2005_1121nagaoka_houji0008.JPG Aging & Loss - Watch over our family... For many older people, making offerings to or talking with the spirits of the family ancestors is a means of lightening the feeling of burden. They provide hope for those who feel abandoned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412849939150-I9K1Z11NTCXNP25QMB09/2006_0519akameguchi0007.JPG Aging & Loss - The butsudan The importance of the ancestors can be seen in the care of the household altar, where the memorial plaques (ihai) for the spirits often overwhelm the Buddhist statue in the center. Many older people make small offerings here daily https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412846436566-CKCMYUZ1ZJ3Y64ND0636/P1020897.JPG Aging & Loss - Memorial The ihai are inscribed with the Buddhist names of the dead, and considered the most precious objects in the home. When a spouse dies, the living spouse may choose to have their name inscribed at the same time, waiting for reunion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412846285644-X7XX2IMT3YKAMHZYRRHP/2006_0113Image0016.JPG Aging & Loss - Aging as practice Many older people take up religious practices with enthusiasm in old age. Most religious pilgrims are over 60, some, like the man pictured here, take up special religious training to cultivate their heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412850473552-6VXYLKLBXTG2JUW0LX2X/bokefuji_couple20140403.jpg Aging & Loss - Compassion Kannon is the Bodhisattva of Compassion, an enlightened being who extends her mercy to those who suffer in this world.

"Children move away, or just don't take care of the graves anymore." Muen means "without connection," the abandonment of the dead that foreshadows more widespread social distance. https://jasondanely.com/transitions-transformations daily 0.75 2022-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412779294137-EXJ0BVSMF90VYWEB8Q9P/Figure+10.3.JPG Transitions & Transformations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412778454710-SA1B2SM5L73M0Z0OOQHQ/LynchDanely.jpg Transitions & Transformations https://jasondanely.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1412850873012-1JJJ1S37GQIY7K9KM0DK/2006_0404Image0029.JPG Contact https://jasondanely.com/research-1 daily 0.75 2014-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5310cef7e4b08602cbfa36bf/1410210555855-N29TNUAMCINE2SQE73XN/Spaces05.jpg Research https://jasondanely.com/events daily 0.75 2025-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/71c9f2ad-1ad6-4ca3-83c9-3eab153dcee3/CERC-2025_beeldmerk_labyrinth-kopie.png Events - Care Ethics Research Consortium 2025 Online conference (free) 30-31st January 2025. ‘Abolition Aesthetics: Aging, Incarceration, and World-Making in Tokyo’ (panel 10) https://jasondanely.com/new-page daily 0.75 2022-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1612778985333-MP449SRNDJSCTMST7KVC/margarita-zueva-YjLywIe8vxE-unsplash.jpg Vulnerability https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5434ed8ee4b015282b385aa2/1612777421699-DFCOAFD22J78SG562OEM/Danely_Vulnerability2021-cover.jpg Vulnerability - From Oxford University Press!
