Interesting idea to help people grieve: > The wind phone (風の電話, kaze no denwa) is a telephone booth in Ōtsuchi, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, where visitors can hold one-way conversations with deceased loved ones. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_phone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_phone > An old, disconnected black telephone stands in a telephone booth in the town of Otsuchi — about 20 minutes’ drive from Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture. The phone has been visited by at least 25,000 people since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, people who have come to convey their feelings to departed loved ones “through the wind.” > The phone was set up by 72-year-old garden designer Itaru Sasaki in his garden, on a small hill with a commanding view of the calm sea in the Namiita area of Otsuchi. Calling it “Kaze no Denwa” (The phone of the wind), Sasaki set up the phone after the death of his cousin. > The garden is open to all, and there is a notebook placed by the phone, the fourth such notebook to be used. Many people have left messages for their loved ones in the books. * https://nationalpost.com/news/world/please-watch-over-us-from-heaven-in-japan-25000-people-use-wind-phone-to-communicate-with-dead-loved-ones https://nationalpost.com/news/world/please-watch-over-us-fro...
