congenitaldisease:Miyu Kojima works for a company that cleans up after kodokushi: a Japanese phenomenon of people dying alone and remaining uncovered for a period of time. “Lonely death” is an increasingly common phenomenon in a county with an ageing population. Once the bodies are removed, Miyu and her colleagues enter the homes to scrub them down and sort through their belongings. To preserve and document the scene, Miyu creates miniature replicas and the outcome depicts a lonely and bleak existence.tracking the hikikomori-kodokushi pipeline -- source link
