Part hearse, part temple, all the attention you could ever want. What you see here is a Japanese "miyagata" hearse; lavishly decorated to resemble Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Once popular conveyances for honoring loved ones and paying final respects, only 500 miyagata are reported to still be in active service in Japan. Some countries have found other uses for these glorious works of art, using them as mobile temples to serve rural and far flung communities. This particular example is exquisitely ornate with engravings and figures of dragons and birds, a metal roof, and a glistening interior compartment complete with lighted chandeliers. One thing's for sure - I'm looking forward to meeting its new owner and hearing what they have planned for it. This hearse was imported from Japan in February 2021 and is offered for your consideration.
