Nowadays, the "bone washing" ceremony is becoming increasingly rare, but this custom is still preserved on Sukuo Island, located on the west side of the Okinawa Islands. It is said that after the death of local people, their bodies should be buried on the west side of the island. When they turn into bones, their loved ones should dig out the bones and wash them with their own hands, so that the deceased family can truly say goodbye to the world. New City Family
