Enter the summary in the space below. Part II As Carpo (2013) highlights how aging and longevity, death and mortality are celebrated in Japan at different intervals with rites of passage from age 60 to 111. The longer a family member lives their life is celebrated with elaborate festivities at aging intervals starting at age sixty with Kanreki. Kanreki is the first of a series of auspicious birthdays ending with Kôju at (one-hundred-eleventh). These celebrations are for rejoicing and reflecting on the stages of old age. Death and after death are also celebrated in Japan with a tradition of ancestor worship. A dying ritual is the wetting of the lips “the rite of the last water” called matsugo no mizu, where the next of kin wet the lips of the dying person. Once death has passed, there are a series of periodic rituals to honor the death, passages of ancestor hood, and finally the spirit enters the realm of dead and becomes a new Buddha. The dead are not forgotten in the culture with daily, monthly, seasonal, and periodical rituals to honor their ancestors.
