They're tucked away in hundreds of meadows, gardens, cemeteries.
Wind phones.
A private space. Phone booths connected to nothing, always with old-fashioned rotary dials.
Inside, you can dial an all-too-familiar number-- known only to you--and talk to the cosmos. The missing, the living, the dead.
It's a one-sided conversation.
A wind phone offers closure, connection and comfort, according to grief experts, who offer extensive information HERE.
In a cynical 2024, it may seem more like a left-over Letterman show sketch, or the premise for Netflix's newest grabber, Dating the Dead.
Surely one wind phone is recording these grief calls for a Japanese game show?
