#古えの王の葬送

古えの王族の最期の儀式として伝えられている「彫花の葬送」

硬化した王の体に花を刻み込むことで王の死を悼む。
その行為は全身に及び、最終的には全てが花の彫刻で覆われ、ある遺体は一輪一輪の単位に分けられる事もあった。

この儀式は後世の「葬儀の献花」の源となり、遺体を自然に還す「風葬」の原型ともなった風習である。

#Funeral of The Ancient Kings

The "funeral of carved flowers" has been handed down as the last rite of royalty in ancient times.

The king's death is mourned by carving flowers into his hardened body. The act was performed on the entire body, and eventually everything was covered with flower carvings, with some bodies even being divided into individual flower units.

This ritual became the source of the " flower offering at funerals" in later times, and was also the prototype of " wind burial," a custom in which the corpse is returned to nature.
