Where the Dead Pause, and the Japanese Say Goodbye: A Journey by Marie Mutsuki Mockett

5.0

My interests have intersected; how can I not love this book? Buddhism meets biography meets Japan meets tradition meets linguistics meets spirituality meets supernatural. I also recommend to you "Ghost of the Tsunami" by Richard Lloyd Parry, who brings a more in-depth journalistic take to the ante-mortem phenomena that the author presents here, which is not to say that her personal experiences and family connections are not of importance. I highly recommend reading both; together, I have so much more awareness of the impact of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
