Life on the Edge: Embracing Mortality
What if confronting your death could help you live a better life?
That’s the idea behind Mujo Inc., a Japanese company offering a service where people can lay in a coffin and visualize their own funeral. The intent isn’t to spark fear, but rather to encourage people to reassess their priorities and reflect on what kind of legacy they want to leave behind.
This kind of death acceptance is especially important in a country like Japan, which has the oldest population in the world combined with a rapidly declining birth rate.
Watch to learn how a culture that once shied away from mortality is now being forced to embrace it head-on.
