Authors
Hamzon Situmorang, Robert Sibarani
Abstract
Cemeteries have different types in every ethnicity due to the differences in the tradition and belief since cemeteries could reflect the philosophy of life and of death the community has. Therefore, the changes in tradition or belief system would cause the changes in types of cemetery or of their instruments. The changes are usually based on old traditions which are influenced by new traditions. This paper is concerned with the Japanese Christian cemetery in Kitayama, Sendai. It is aimed to find out Christian elements. It is also aimed to find out the traditional elements which are probably contrary to Christian thoughts in which both traditional and Christian elements exist in the cemetery. Therefore, the objective of this paperis to show the models of the unity of the two different traditions.
