"In March, the body of an elderly man was found on the floor of this apartment in downtown Tokyo. He had been dead for a month. When Masuda's team turns up at the Tokyo apartment, police have taken away the corpse but body fluids have seeped into the floor. Flies buzz around a cooker filled with rice. Old calendars and papers are strewn in rooms untouched for years. Workers wearing protective gear spray the apartment with insect repellent, using gloved hands to pack the trash in boxes. The six-hour exercise is conducted discreetly to avoid upsetting the neighbours. The crew tells onlookers they are moving house. When they are done, incense and flowers are placed where the body was, with the man's photo put where his head had been." - rønin
