Ifyou like smooth coffee with bold flavors, Kyoto Black is perfect for you. It has great classic flavors of Cognac, Stout Beer and Shaved Dark Chocolate. It is low acid, low bitterness and naturally sweet.

I make Kyoto Black in small batches and deliver it fresh to your home or office. This saves you precious time and energy. No more rushing out the door, just to stand in long caf lines, and no more messy grinders and gadgets.


In Japan, people tend to be cremated when they die, which helps our chances somewhat in the event of a zombie apocalypse. However, it is not without its setbacks. Cremation is an energy-intensive process and requires specialized equipment, so the places that can perform it are limited.


All that adds up to 119 million yen in precious metals. The city is currently discussing whether they should proceed with the sale and save the money for use when the funeral hall is in need of renovations. On one hand, it would be a waste to just throw away these useful and valuable substances. On the other hand, the plan certainly has a ghoulish feel to it.


With people live longer in Japan their dental will broken at some point and need to be filled, some of them with metal fillings. So Kyoto or other crematorium will get more and more metal dental filling in the future.


To make matters more troublesome, in the Kansai regions of Japan, particularly in Kyoto and Nara, there is a very old custom of the bereaved only removing certain bones of the deceased after cremation and transporting them to the family grave. The remaining remains are buried by the crematorium on their own premises


I don't know about this place in Kyoto, but having lost a few loved ones and having had to go through the funeral process with my second wife, here in Tokyo/Kanto we collected all the bones and ashes sweeping up everything into her urn and we placed it all in her grave.


Cremation requires a lot of natural gas and produces a lot of excess CO. The burning of dental fillings within the cremated remains can also pollute the atmosphere with mercury when the body is cremated.


Here is an interesting difference in most western countries the remaining bones and ashes are crushed, in many countries scattering the ashes in the ocean or the mountains, etc.. is permitted, keeping them at home is also permitted.


There is a difference between Western and Japanese cremations. Western ones are at higher temperatures which reduces the bones to ashes. The Japanese cremations are at lower temperatures because the bones need to be preserved so the seven most important are selected and placed in urns to be placed in graves.


Cremation generally takes about an hour, with an extra thirty minutes or so added on to give the remains time to cool. The ovens reach a peak heat of 500 to 600 degrees Celsius, which is substantially cooler than in the Western process.


"Children are not exempt from participation in kotsuage. The bone fragments are transferred in order of those of the feet to those of the skull, so that the deceased will be upright within the urn. It is often necessary for the cremator to break the skull so that it will fit into the urn."


"The second cervical vertebra is placed in the urn last by the closest relative. Called 'nodobotoke', or 'throat Buddha', it resembles a meditating Buddha.[29] In Eastern Japan, all of the remains are transferred into the urn, whereas in Western Japan, only some of the remains are collected."


There are laws about denying a cremation for a corpse. There are also laws requiring cremations in most cases. There are still some foreign graves where people are buried but like in Kobe only now if there was a previous family grave. Muslims have been campaigning to allow burials.


The oddest thing here is that a municipal body fully admits to stealing value from the heirs of the dearly departed. This 'sifting' should be done at the time of cremation and any valuable remains returned, or at least offered, to the heirs. But, apparently, in Kyoto, it's OK to TAKE the property of the formerly living without permission or even consultation and have NO THOUGHT WHATSOEVER of the ethics involved because of the blindness that MONEY creates in some. Not a good look for a venue that touts its 'spirituality'.


I know its illegal in most countries, but I'd prefer my body be buried whole, not cremated. That way, the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime. Thus, the circle of life.


No, scattering ashes is permitted in Japan while the scattering of bones is treated as 'abandonment of dead body' as I stated above. My wife died last week and therefore I have looked up the relevant laws as they stand today.


This was not unique to dentistry at one point jewellery experimented increasing Palladium and Iridium lowering platinum jewellery from 900 Pt to 800 Pt (Europe 950 Pt is standard in Japan it was generally 900 Pt).


When my friend's father died she was telling me she and her relatives picked out bones from the ashes... I had to bite my tongue as that really chilled me. I know it's tradition and all that, but... yikes


Am I alone in thinking his practice is most unsavory for a Government agency to perform so openly & brazenly. It reminds me, so tragically, that the Nazis did exactly the same to mostly Jewish victims during the war and that the proceeds went to the coffers of the Third Reich in order to prolong the war.


@antiquesaving Your comments are very accurate. What is simply driving cremations in western europe is the very high costs of traditional funerals together with media advertising for same. I believe now in France, contrary to other mainly catholic countries, cremating is now the leading form of burial


This one, if true, needs to result in a massive resignation of all Government officials involved. There are Jewish people here too in Japan (still), can you imagine the impact of this news story when rewritten to say:

- the next two photos are the front and back of a stunning 20 Yen gold coin which were the first Japanese coins minted by the Meiji government in 1870 using modern minting methods, before that coins were typically cast.


Lastly I have I have included a photo of the gold covered Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) Buddhist temple in Kyoto built in the 15th century originally as a villa for the third Ashikaga shogun Yoshimitsu.




Common corals that form coral reefs spreading over shallow waters of the tropical and subtropical oceans grow quickly; they have a pumice-like structure and do not have a gloss even when polished. The corals that become the raw materials for precious coral grow over a long period of time in the deep sea, only in a very limited area of the world, such as the Mediterranean Sea and offshore Kochi. The beautiful luster of this coral that seems to shine from within, captures the hearts of many people.



Historically, precious coral was produced only in the Mediterranean, prized as an extremely valuable treasure, and also brought to the East. Precious coral has been believed to have mystic powers throughout the Western world, and even in Buddhism, it is counted among the seven treasures. In early modern Japan, coral collected in the Mediterranean was imported to be made into ornaments for decorating hairpins and medicine boxes. The material was so precious back then that no one dared to sculpt it, but just enjoyed the beauty of the material for itself.


This situation changed completely at the end of the Edo period (1603-1868). After a fisherman from Tosa (Kochi) discovered high quality precious coral, its existence off the coast of Kochi became known.


This inspired the development of precious coral art in Kochi, and artisan began to carve objects such as figurines and Buddhist statues using coral. In the process of crafting precious coral art, the natural colors of these corals are respected, the color and luster, size and quality of each coral is taken into consideration.


Precious corals that can be used for crafting are extremely expensive, especially for 'traditional carving' from a single lump of coral, the aim is to make as much out of the size of the skeleton as possible. With this in mind, the craftsman plans the sketch of the figure in accordance with shape of the coral, which is different for each piece.


After roughly carving the general shape of the sculpture, the artisan will then carve out the small details such as the eyes and clothing. Because precious corals are extremely hard, motorized routers are commonly used in modern times.
