Who is buried in graves with the inscription Panasonic and Nissan (4 photos)

And not only under these brands! If you get to the Okuno-in cemetery in Osaka, you get a strange feeling, as if while you were riding on the train for an hour and a half, all the major companies in the world managed to fall apart and close. And here are their graves in honor of the fact that they were once the pillars of the Japanese economy.





Because in this cemetery there are also slabs with Toyota, Sharp and other lesser-known Japanese corporations, for example, Ueshima Coffee Company, Shin Meiwa Industry Co.

But no, these are not remains in honor of the memory of the former greatness of the corporation.

Who lies in corporate graves?

Employees. Companies simply buy dozens of places in the cemetery in advance to give them to their employees. And not even to top managers, but to ordinary rank-and-file employees who have worked here for many years.



This is without Latin letters, the Kubota company, it makes tractors

Usually places are given to people who have worked here for 40-50 years, well, or if you tragically die at work, then they give out of turn. At the same time, not all relatives want to put the real ashes of their family in such a grave, because there may be nothing under the slabs. And the grave rather serves as a memorial slab in honor of the person. And then the question remains - why is your memorial in the cemetery!?

The largest corporate grave (that is, a plot for the graves of employees) belongs to Panasonic. Remember the times when Panasonic TV and VCR were top-of-the-line equipment? Already at that time, this company began to buy creepy gifts for its workers.

Why are they needed





Note, the corporate grave of the coffee shop - with a cup!

In Japan, this is one of the forms of employee motivation, since being buried in the company's "hall of fame" is a great honor. Well, and a symbol of employee loyalty, which is considered a great virtue in Japan - to stay with the company until death.

But I can't reformat myself and look at it the way the Japanese do. As if you were in serfdom to the company during your life for 50 years, and it does not want to let you go even after death. "And after death I will not find peace."



Some corporate graves are very pompous, so that other employees regret how they made a mistake and went to some Panasonic. Do Panasonic have GRAVES LIKE THIS?
