This paper looks at transformations in urban temple graveyards. There has been a tacit image that temples are concerned with maintaining the conventional system of graveyard management. However, it is not necessarily appropriate to emphasize the traditional nature of temple graveyards. The paper, drawing on a field survey on temples in the Tokyo metropolitan area, demonstrates that urban temples have undertaken to address contemporary graveyard issues caused by a decline in traditional-style families, an increase in deaths of single people and diversified needs for graveyard design.
