Open gallery
Andrew Bernstein, associate professor of history, gives an over-view of the early development of funerary rituals in Japan and demonstrates how diverse premodern practices from different regions and social strata were homogenized with those generated by middle-class city dwellers to create the form of funerary practice dominant today.
