The Catalogue of Death

The Catalogue of Death is an uninhibited exploration of the last great stage of our existence: death. In this work, both funny and erudite, Bunpei Yorifuji covers every conceivable aspect of the “passage to "The afterlife": where do most people die? From what causes? Who lives the most long? Which cultures fear death the most and how? do they represent it? What are the best (and worst) ways to die? In short: what is death? To this naive question, the author responds as follows: as usual in text and image, mixing humorous drawings and research in-depth. With a Japanese culture where this subject is approached in a Uninhibited, Bunpei Yorifuji addresses in this work both adults than to the youngest. A book to put in the hands of all those who seek to approach the theme of death with finesse. After Becoming a Rakugaki expert, published in 2016, The Wonderful Life of the Elements (2018), and Au Heart of the Poop (2019), The Catalogue of Death is Bunpei's fourth work Yorifuji translated into French.
