The Embalmer

死化粧師

Shinjyurou Mamiya is an embalmer, a profession considered taboo and unclean in Japanese society. He has resigned himself to a life as an outcast, viewing his work as simply a job. Through his unique profession, he has gained an exceptional understanding of death and its consequences.

Driven by a passion to preserve the dignity of the deceased, Shinjyurou uses his skill to transform corpses, allowing grieving loved ones to see them as if peacefully sleeping. Each case explores the delicate psychological relationships between life, death, loss, and mourning.

As he performs his duties, Shinjyurou confronts profound questions about beauty, love, and what it truly means to live, all while navigating his isolated existence in a society that shuns his craft.
