Abstract

Japan, China, and Taiwan are all located in East Asia and have influenced each other culturally and politically throughout history. Since the second half of the 20th century, the number of deaths has increased according to the population increase. This report focuses on Tokyo, Guangzhou, and Taipei from these three regions, mapping the locations of cemeteries and their spatial changes since the mid-20th century and examining their cultural and policy backgrounds.
