ENDEX2023で思ったこと

今年のエンディング産業展は私にはちょっと違う内容であった。

何が違ったかというと、日本葬送文化学会というのがなかったので、学会の営業や運営をする必要がまったくなかったことで、気楽であった。

jFuneral.com には業界の動向を書いたが、こっちにはちょっと違う視点で情報を提供したい。

エンディング産業展2021の報告

開けてみたら、昨年11月と大差ない人数でした。
もしかしたら、A棟で開催されていた「カフェ・レストラン」展の人たちやウェルネス・ジャパンの人たちはノーカウントだから、去年よりも来場者は多いかも知れないですね。

Hello everyone. Today is June 9th, 2021.

My name is Yuusuke Wada.
Today’s talk is about the Ending Industry Expo in Tokyo Big Sight.
I’m your host Yuusuke Wada, funeral business podcaster of Japan

Starting today, ENDEX has started and will be held until Friday 5PM at Tokyo Big Sight Aomi Exhibition B Hall.
B Hall is the far away exhibition hall and it’s far!

Please make sure that you are pre-registered.
It’ll make you exempt from the entrance fee.

Today, I met a young artist.
He uses ashes from the bones and mixes it with the paint.
He uses 3 grams of ashes sent by the survived family and uses it for the painting for them.
People in Japan might not accept it easily but this is another way of mourning.
He draws mostly abstract images but he will draw anything.
I told him that he should output his work more towards outside of Japan.
The market is bigger than Japan.

I’ve registered a virtual office in Tokyo.
The same building as the Foreign Press Club (FCCJ) in Marunouchi at ServCorp.
Next year, I’ll be upgrading to a real office there and moving out of Ueno (Okachimachi) since I’m having many network speed problem.

I have exchanged my WiFi router from Apple to tp-link mesh router and it’s excellent. Much easier to set up and extremely fast.
Although, there was a one big problem of this router is that it keeps telling me to update, where I have already done 5 times but now it’s gone.

Then, there is the ENDEX 2020 next week.
