Starting with 414 cards
"Dialogue session on how to live life to the fullest in the present while facing death"

To look at death is to reconsider how you want to live.

Through dialogue using the 414 cards, each participant will be able to understand the concept of "limited life."
This is a place where you can express how you want to live your life now and share your thoughts in a safe environment.
This event will be held in collaboration with Death Fest General Incorporated Association.

In this dialogue, we will not see death as the end.
They are considered "hints" to enrich your life.

By imagining your own "end"
🌸You will see what you truly want to cherish
🌸Your values become clear
🌸Enjoy the present moment more deeply
🌸Heaten conversations with family and friends

Because that awareness is born.
There is no right or wrong answer to any way of thinking or value system.
And it's okay if you talk or don't talk.
It's okay to laugh or cry.
Through card work, you will slowly communicate with yourself.

◆ What is the 414 (Yoishi) card?
Developed by doctors and nurses, these cards help you reflect on what is important to you as you face death.
Participants will discuss questions handed to them by the facilitator (Mie Imanishi).
The rules are very simple, so don't worry!
The interaction between participants is also very exciting!
