On July 7th, the event was titled ``Winding up your life in your own way,'' and we invited Seita Okuyama, a funeral advisor, to speak about funerals in general, providing preliminary knowledge for the day that will surely come. "Orange Café de Otori-to", which will be held on September 18th next month, will provide a place for everyone to freely discuss their thoughts, ideas, and experiences regarding "death", and a place for everyone to create together.

At the beginning of "Otori-to," Mr. Chiramaru Takayama, a poet and performer who was invited as a special guest, will present poetry, music, and 3D motion graphic video that he wrote especially for this event.

Afterwards, use Zoom's breakout room function to divide into small groups and have a light, fun, and relaxed discussion about "death, the final stage of life," which has been considered a taboo until now.

This is also a great opportunity to hear the opinions of all the participants. If you are a little interested or think something will catch on, please come and join us. We'll be expecting you.
